I was so sorry to hear about Tom. Although I haven't seen him in many years, I remember him as a good friend in college and an excellent musician. May you rest in peace, Tom...

Mr. Reinbold was my excellent band teacher for quite a few years, but I was particularly fond of him as my 8th grade Physical Science teacher. He taught the subject with ease and skill, and made it entertaining. Of course he had his trusty sidekick with him, a certain yardstick named Willard. Quite the comedic duo! My condolences to his family and friends.

Tom was a colleague of mine at Potterville High School. He had a great sense of humor which is an asset in teaching when one's day doesn't go as
it's supposed to. Tom was bright and witty but humble by nature. I was sorry to hear about Tom's passing. I remember a standing joke of Tom's refusal to pose for school pictures. I missed him when he left Potterville. Now he will be missed by all.

Mr.Reinhold was my music teacher in Potterville through my Junior year of high school. My favorite memories are the half time shows at the football games.

Tom and I were in the MSU marching band together in the late 60's. We had many great times together. May he rest in peace.

I was a former student of Mr. Reinbold at Potterville Schools. Very fond memories of him and band. Rembering marching at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festivals. My condolences to the family.

Tom was my band director at Potterville High School. He was an accomplished baritone player and taught me much about how to play french horn. He helped make our marching band strong and took us each year to solo ensemble and Vermontville Syrup Festival parade. I just found out or would have attended. Be comforted by the good memories you have of your Dad.

With sympathy,

Dan Bargy

So sorry to hear. I wa.s Tom's leader at the machine Shop in Saginaw. I retired 11 years ago. He was a great guy to work with.
