Not sure what to say?

I think of Michael often and the innate goodness of this fine man. I feel privileged to have shared 8 years as his companion, enjoying roads trips to hike in nature, looking for antiquities at second hand shops and enjoying morning breakfast on his patio in Edgewater. Michael nurtured his spirit and blessed the earth in the 62 years he was here. I am most grateful to have known him.

To the Reiniger Family: Please accept our humble condolences. My daughters absolutely loved working with "Mr. Reiniger" on shows at Orrington Elementary and the parents loved attending.
He gave us all a lot, bringing both fun and musical enrichment to hundreds and hundreds of children.
While it's a sad loss, he left a wonderful legacy and will be warmly remembered by so many.
The Barson & Sattler Family

My deep condolences on the passing of a truly wonderful man. Mr. Reiniger was a loving, caring, nurturing presence at Orrington School for many years. My two younger children had their joy in and love of music greatly enhanced from Mr. Reiniger's enthusiasm and excitement in teaching music. Sending gentle thoughts and loving prayers to his family, and to all who mourn his passing.

Mr. Reiniger was an energetic and beloved presence at Orrington Elementary School. His love for music and his dedication to teaching inspired so many children. We are truly sorry for your loss.

To the Reininger Family: Our children were blessed to be in Mr. Reininger's music classes at Orrington Elementary. We will fondly remember all of the musicals and holiday performances that he put together. His dedication to the students and passion for music will be remembered by many families.

Mr. Reiniger was such an inspiration for my son Preston and the other children at Orrington School. He held early morning chorus rehearsals for the children who were interested in singing, and those early morning sessions instilled a love of choral music that has been life-changing for Preston. I am so sorry to hear about his death, and we send condolences to the Reiniger family.

Pam and Gerry and family, sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers Sincerely Louise

The DeStefano family send their deepest sympathies to the Reiniger family. Michael Reiniger brought so much kindness and compassion to his teaching of music at Orrington. His patience with the children and his genuine love of music will never be forgotten.
