It was a great privilege of mine to become friends with Wes and Donna's son, Phillip, beginning in the mid 1970's. Wes and Donna opened their home to me like I was a member of their family. Wes was always gracious and a gentle-man. He was interested most in the welfare of others. What I learned from Wes, Donna, Phillip, and all of the Reincke family has helped shape my own life. I hope that in this time of loss and sorrow, there can also be daily reminders of a life lived in the service of others. These are the memories that we can draw on for eternity in this world, until we meet again. I know that Wes' voice echoes through those many people he touched through his life. What a legacy he has left us.

My condolences to the Reincke Family on their loss. Becoming his son Jon's friend in school, I got to meet Mr. Reincke. As a young engineer, I was privileged to get know Wes at the Grand Traverse County Road Commission. He always seemed to have everything under control and never seemed to get bothered by anything. He was a true mentor and a great man. I feel blessed to have known Wes and know he is in a better place.

I was saddened to hear of death of Wes. I worked for him for 20 years at Grand Traverse County Road Commission and during that time I always found him to be calm and fair with his employees. It was a pleasure just knowing him but working for him was equally pleasant. He will be missed by all who knew him and our thoughts and prayers go our-t to the family on this great loss. But we can be comforted knowing we will see him again in heaven

A wonderful person has entered his rest in Heaven. He will be missed here but I know was welcomed in Heaven in a big way.
Prayers and love to all of the family.
