Mr. Reif was principal when I was a student at LaFollette, where I was very aware we were getting a great education. I'm sure he was responsible for that in ways I cannot even begin to image. Sending best wishes to the entire Reif family.

I knew Bob when he was wrestling coach at East High. His counterpart at West was Don Hafeman. Both good men.

I offer my deep sympathy to Rita and the family in the loss of this wonderful man. A teacher, a Principal, a Professor and a mentor of many educators. Bob
believed in me and hired me as Assistant Principal at LaFollette High School which started me on my career in Administration. His friendship and support were special gifts that I have cherished. We have lost a great man!
