I'm really going to miss talking with Ron. I've learned so much from him over the years. It has been a privilege to have been his friend.

When I was a little boy Mr. Reinhardt was my pastor in Glasgow. Craig was my best friend. I remember many happy times at their house. Mr. Reinhardt was a good man and I know he will be missed by many. My father also has cancer and we nearly lost him a couple of times, so I know what the family has had to go through. I am very sorry for your loss and will be thinking and praying for your family. Rest in peace Mr. Reinhardt, you are loved by many.
