Hi. I'm a unknown person for you. I' m from germany. And I think we are related. I'm very sad about the death of Reiner. He had ALS? My father was Wolfgang Siegfried Gellrich. He had ALS too and he died 1993 with 48 years. His mother was Irmgard Gellrich. And Irmgard was in the USA 1975 and 1976 for a visit. Please contact me. I want to know more about about our relationship. I'm Kathrin Lindner. Today I found a photo of Reiner from his 8th birthday. And I searched for him in the internet....

I am so sorry to hear this news and the touch times you and Reiner went through to beat this disease. Reiner was great friend with a big heart to his family. I am happy to have known Reiner. His family meant everything to him. His friends from Fairmont West 1975 send their prayers and have great memories of Reiner.

Shelley & Abbey,

We are so terribly sad for your loss. Reiner was such a great neighbor to us. We will miss seeing him out in the yard and always ready with a friendly wave and conversation. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Shelley and Abigail,
We are so sorry for your loss, praying for you. It was a lot of fun working with you and Reiner at the football games while our girls cheered together. Reiner was a fun guy and he took our teasing well too working with us girls. You will both be in my prayers as the weeks ahead unfold.

With heavy hearts from Montana sorry we couldn't be there. Reiner was a wonderful brother in law and uncle. We will miss the many cribbage games and going and trying to find a live poker game. He will be forever in our hearts. With all our love Tim , Linda and Taylor.
