Not sure what to say?

I am Uncle Richards niece, I am very sad to hear of his passing. My mother was his sister Hazel. I was unaware of it until as usual I tried to call him to wish him Happy Birthday, and found his phone had been disconnected. We hadn't spoken to each other for a few months. I will miss him, I loved him very much. He always had a wonderful outlook on life when I talked to him. He said we were cut from the same rock. I live in Graceville, Florida, my name is Mary Fralick.

We gave him a bday party 103 yrs at golden corral I was a server there .sorry for your loss. Del

I remember Mr. Rhinehart from my 34 years at MTA. He was always a gentleman, with a smile for everyone. What a pleasure to know and work with him. God Bless!

I briefly worked along with Mr. Rhinehart after he retired from the Maryland Transit Administration to train Bus Operators in Ocean City Maryland. I got to know him a little during that time and came to discover he was among a few who volunteered to train Black Bus Drivers in the days of the Baltimore Transit Company. My professional career has benefited from knowing Mr. Rhinehart.

I've been Mr. Rhinehart's neighbor for 33 years. He always was so well dressed with a suit and tie. My family and I marvelled at his excellent health, bicycling in his 80s, walking in his 90s and driving when he was 104! When he was 103 he walked up the court to my house to see how my husband was feeling after heart surgery. He was sharp as a tack and so friendly. I missed him when he moved and I'm so glad I knew such a fine, impressive, gentleman as Mr. Richard. God Bless...

Working in HR at MTA for 28 years, I always considered Mr. Rhinehart a dear friend. He could brighten up my day just by coming by. I was so proud of him and the way he presented himself as a person of his age. He always remembered my name even when he was up in his 90's and always was a very dapper looking gentlemen. Rest in peace, Mr. Rhinehart.

So sorry for your loss. Our hearts feel your sorrow. Carry the joyful memories in your hearts forever.

Dear Rhinehart Family,

It was an honor to have known your dad, grand-dad.
He was so proud to be a Marine and he would share his wonderful stories with me.
I will miss his smiling face and his kind words. I always looked forward to seeing him and he always had the best outlook on life.
I'm a better person for having known him.
Sincerely,
JoAnn Huebler
