I'm so sorry to hear about Rennis. He was the kindest, sweetest guy in Boy Scout Troop 191. He was without a doubt my favorite new scout when I was his Troop Guide. The kind of guy you looked forward to go camping with. Cheerful. Enthusiastic. Capable. Smart. I wish I kept in better touch as we got older.

Dear Reitz family, I knew Rennis from our days at PSU Lehigh Valley. He always had a smile and was a joy to be around. I was very shy and don't have many friends from those days but I'm happy to say I count Rennis as one. This has been a terrible loss. You raised your son into a wonderful and caring young man, he will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him.

I had the pleasure of working with Rennis at ebc for 2 years. He was a great guy and co-worker and I enjoyed working with him. He kept us all laughing and held his own when we teased him especially about his Abercrombie days. I had a lot of respect for him. I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and will be remembered by many.

Reitz Family,
My deepest condolences to your family. I had the privilege of meeting Rennis when he came to Camelot For Children as a Junior volunteer. Even at the age of 13 he was very dedicated. For many years he spent his summers working with the children at the day camp. He would always volunteer to work with the children who were most difficult and needed one on one attention. In addition he helped at most of the activities and teen nights at Camelot House, as well as serving as a member of the Jr. Board of Directors. He was a fine young man and I will always remember him fondly. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time
