I just wanted to say in the short time I knew him that he was a real gentleman and I could tell he had a kind soul. I want to send my condolences to his wife and whole family. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Jamie Dalton

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dr. Reiling was a great surgeon. I am a former patient from a serious car accident in 1973. Dr. Reiling's skill saved my life. I am forever grateful that he was the doctor on call that night. God Blessed me with a great surgeon and a caring individual. He would stop in and check on me everyday. I had the opportunity to have breakfast with him in June 2015 and say Thank You in person. It was a very special moment and one that I will treasure forever.

Sincerely,
Deborah Puder (Thirtyacre)
