I am sorry to hear about the loss of my old boyhood friend. We were both going to be chemists, but only he followed that path. I remember all of the experiments we performed in the "lab" in the basement, though, not all of them went well (Mrs. Helm, I'm still sorry we filled the basement with chlorine gas all those years ago). I've been away from CT for many years and recently I had been thinking of coming back and looking up some of my old friends. Rein, I'm sorry I missed my chance to see you again. To the Helms, please know that you have my deepest sympathy.

Mrs. Helm and family, I am so sorry to hear about losing Rein and I am sorry I could not attend the services. Please accept our deepest sympathies. He will surely be missed by everyone he knew. Rein was my first "real" boss out of college and I learned so much from him. What a brilliant man and wonderful friend. Again, please accept our sympathies. Reinhold, you will be missed! Love you!

With my deepest sympathy to the family. I had the pleasure of meeting Rein and then working with him in Hartford. He always came into our office with a smile. He will be missed.

My uncle Reinhold was the first cool person I knew. He used to make his own fireworks in my grandmother's basement, and he gave me all of his old science magazines. He gave me chemistry equipment when I was a kid, and a laser when I was teenager. He drove a motorcycle and was the best "bad" role model I could have had. He will always be with me, and has a piece of my heart. I know he has lots to tell Grandpa and Stephanie. All my love, uncle Reinhold.

Reinhold,
I knew you first as a friend of my sister, then a co-worker with my cousin. Just this Summer we met up as collegues in a training session.
I am glad we had the chance to talk after a number of years.
