Great Gramps, I love you and miss you so much. You were such a wonderful great grandpa to me and my brother Kaleb. We always loved coming over and helping you out with shoveling your side walks and helping out with the yard. You always believed in me and always encouraged me to keep going. When you called me the day I had my graduation party, telling me I made you so proud, I will never forget that. That lit up my world and I will continue to make you proud great gramps day by day. Give great grams, Alexis and everyone else a big hug up in heaven for me I love you so much Great Gramps, may you rest in peace, until we meet again. I love you- love Kelsey

To Hal and Linda,

You and your whole family are in my prayers. Jim and Dick were great to know since grade school and worked with both on the police department.

Dear father in law, for many years you have always welcomed me with open arms. Over the years you have showed me what true strength and resilience really was. I have a new appreciation for trains that stop me and military planes that fly by. We will forever have a piece of our hearts missing until we see your smiling face again. But when I see you again I will remind you about my $550 dollars. (Inside years long joke). Love you dad..

My dad my forever hero
You may have thought I didn't see.
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all
And that we'd grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything, It's written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be The woman I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away l've grown up with your values, And I'm very glad I did; So here's to you, dad From your forever grateful kid.I am proud for all ive learned and thank you for all the love.thank you you will be always thought of,forever missed until I see you again.i love you with my whole your daughter becky.

Dick was a good friend to my dad back in the early 70s - he was always so much fun.

We grew up together on Broadway and had the same barber. I felt I was a member of the Reinking family and still do. Sorry for your loss.

Gramps I just want to say how much I love and miss you. Thank you for being the best grandpa in the world. You have always cheered me on and beleived in me when going to school and when getting into my career
You always said never give up you can do it kid. Rick, Kelsey, and Kaleb love you too! I have so many good memories to look back on with you I will never forget. Mom has sent me photos of when Alan, Steph, Ash, and myself were kids at your house. I will cherish these pictures. Mom always told us how much we loved being at your house when we were kids and didn't want to leave. I will cherish and will miss when you called me your little papoose. I will always be your indian baby and I get to carry that with me. God has gained such a beautiful Angel. Please say hi to Grams, Alexis, and all our family up there in heaven with you. Until we meet again gramps. I love you so so much!!!
