Reinhardt Leu

He was one of a kind! A great leader of hmm 162 in viet nam. Will never be forgotten. Semper fi !

For those of us who did a 20 or more year Marine career and were lucky enough to have a Squadron command, every decision we ever made began and ended with "What would Chief Leu do in this situation??" I'll bet that those of you who persued different occupations did that too. What a wonderful thing to have guided so many people so well. THANKS, CHIEF!

Good bye to my first and best Viet Nam skipper. Chief Leu was everything a young Nugget could ask for in a leader, mentor and example. My condolences to the family on the passing of a great Patriot and family man.

I met Chief Leu when I checked into his soon to deploy squadron at New River, N.C. in November 1962 as a brand new 2nd Lieutenant. To a newbie like myself the man was larger than life. He led us into combat in Vietnam, not figuratively, but literally.
He remained a role model for me throughout my life.
Thank you Chief. Semper Fi.

Thanks to all those that attended Col. Leu's memorial service on Thursday, January 22 at the Fredericksburg Baptist Church. Anyone desiring a copy of the eulogy may send me an email at [email protected].

I am so sorry for your loss. He sounded like a great man. I am so sorry I did not have the opportunity to meet and get to know him. I thought the service was Friday at 2, but I just found out it was today at 2. I am again sorry that I missed it. May God grant you all peace and healing and comfort through Jesus Christ our Lord.

A very big thank you to all that signed the guest book. Thank you for sharing your memories. Sandra Leu

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of my good friend. We enjoyed many hours of golf together. He was a very rare man. It was an honor to be called "friend" by Chief Leu. If there were a life to be patterned after, you cound not have a better model than Chief. God now has a very honored angel now.

Please be advised that in addition to the graveside service held at 11AM on Friday, January 23rd at Quantico National Cemetery that a Memorial Service will also be held on Thursday January 22nd at 2PM at Fredericksburg Baptist Church. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Sincerely,

Chief's Family

My condolences to the family. The Chief was always quite a gentleman. I remember him well. He certainly left his mark in this world and his memories will live on. Brenda G. Zitz, (Surfside Beach, SC/Formerly Fredericksburg, VA)

I am saddened that my good neighbor, "Chief" has passed. We were neighbors first when he and Katherine bought the house across the street from me, and again after her death when he married Mia,
both very dear to me.
His family can rest knowing he was a good man, a kind man of unquestionable honor. I was always proud to know him and call him my neighbor.
My sincere condolences to his family.

To the family, my condolences, to the memory of the man whose principles were by the plumb, on the level and by the square may God bless your memories to live forever. And for the Veteran, may there always be others to follow in your footsteps to protect this great Nation. Your Nephew, Brother and Comrade in Arms. MCPO-CGRF-1

To all the family,
I am very sorry to hear about the "Chief's" passing.I have always admired him for his service to this country and his friendship. Always enjoyed playing golf and visiting his home to view all the wartime flying photos. We have all lost a good man. May God bless all the family at this time.

Rhonda & Family, He is at peace now. The memories will last forever in your heart. It is not easy to say goodbye. Gods plans are that you can see him again in Heaven. We will all be renewed again. My heart aches for you & family. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Peace for the days, weeks, months ahead. Classmate Emma
