William Raymond "Bill / Beetle" Reidinger

I am so saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I worked with Bill Rollins and I've never met a nicer, kinder, thoughtful, all-around one of the best people I've had the pleasure to be with and I cherish so many memories. While working at Rollins a group of about 8 of us would run every day during lunch. And we would even run nearby races. And share a beer after, very-fun times! All of us became very close, and shared a lot of laughs! My sincere condolences to his lovely family and friends.

I swam with Beatle at UD and remember how much I loved him! He was the nicest person with such a big smile and heart!! I am so sorry for the loss of this great soul! With warm memories!! Much love, Carolanne Leone

Dear Kathy, Dan, Charlie and Annie,
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. We feel fortunate to have known him as a kind and compassionate neighbor and friend. We will miss him. Will pray that he is at peace in his heavenly abode. May God bless his soul and give strength to the family to go through this difficult time.

I am so sorry to read this. I first met Bill when I began to coach swimming in Newark. He was always so upbeat and fun, making everyone laugh during practices. I have so many good memories of him from that time as he grew from a skinny little kid into a handsome young man. I know he will be missed by everyone.

I can´t comprehend our world without Beetle in it. His kindness, compassion, and humor will be sadly missed .
He lifted our spirits when we needed it. We are so blessed to have known him!
I have no doubt he will be in the express lane at the Pearly Gates

Dear Kathy, Dan, Charlie and Annie,
We are so sad to hear of Bill´s passing .
Please know you are in our thoughts and I will keep you all in my prayers. Sending our sympathy. I first met Bill in college at UD. Just knew him as Beetle and that he was a swimmer. I remembered his smile when I met him again through you.
I will remember good memories of you and your family through the YMCA and friend get togethers. Sending you strength and love as you grieve Bill´s passing. God Bless you and all who loved him!

I knew Bill as "Beetle" in College which is where we met. I didn´t know his name was Bill until much later. The one thing that I still think about when I think of him was the shirt he bought at Good Will that had Sam embroidered on the left side. He didn´t care, "it was a good shirt" I am glad I got to talk to you in 2015 when I was in Baltimore for a conference. Even though we were far apart I thought of Bill and Kathy often. It is so easy to get caught up in life and the next thing you know, someone is gone. I will miss you Bill/Beetle very much!

Bill has been a friend for almost 50 years. I meet him as I showed up to swim at the UofD and we hit it off immediately. We have shared many hours in the pool but, more importantly, many hours of just being there. His quick smile, great laugh and gentle spirit will be with me forever. Thank you for that friendship, Bill.

When we think of Bill we see his smile. His laughter and warmth will never be forgotten. We were lucky to have known Bill and to be able to enjoy his relaxed and happy demeanor. Our thoughts and prayers to the family in this difficult time.
