I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We became fast friends last winter at Jasmine. He was just starting to come back in after his knee surgery and seemed to be doing so well. My condolences to his family, I will miss him.

We are so sorry to hear about Dr. Reinglass. He cared for our infant son many years ago, when he normally did not see patients that young. We always were so grateful for his wonderful care of our son and his compassion toward us. May God Bless him and his family.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Reinglass. He was our Medical Director at Mercy's IMPACT Program. His understanding of addiction as a disease and that it should be treated as such was so wonderful to see. A great many people are still sober today because of the guidance he provided to them and our therapists. He was such a kind man. The world is a lesser place with him gone. My prayers are with you. God Bless.

Jimmy, was the most intense and intelligent man I have ever known.
I would love to engage him in deep conversations and when I left his house I felt I that our conversations were never over.
I send my condolences to Suzie, Amy, Ellen and Todd, the grandchildren and the rest of the family.
I know Jimmy is smiling and loving each of you every moment.
Shalom,

It was with great sadness that I read about the passing of Dr. Reinglass. This man basically saved my life when in 1975 he diagnosed me with myasthenia gravis, within 3 months this disease traveled thru my entire body and because of his expertise I am here today. He was a very kind, compassionate, caring doctor, not only to me but to my entire family. So sorry for this loss. Blessings to his family.

It is with a heavy heart that I send this message of sympathy to the family of Jim. We went to Belle Stone together and I have to say, we had some of the funniest times together, both in school and after school. One night,when he read "The Reader's Digest," we all laughed hysterically! What great memories. Remember the good times.

Jim had a powerful intellect, a great analytical ability, and a boundless intellectual curiosity. He also was a very caring person. He will be missed. Rest in peace, Jim. My thoughts and prayers go to Susie, his children, Saragale and Frank.
