When his mother married Ernest Reding from Herbeumont in 1953, Serge was adopted by Reding and took his family name. Reding grew attached to his stepfather and stayed with him after he divorced from his mother. He died of a heart attack in Manila, Philippines a year after competing in the world championships there.
