My mother was a patient at University Park from 1988-1991. Thanks to Mr. Regirer it was an outstanding facility that upheld her dignity to the end. In appreciation and sympathy.

Mr. Regirer was a great man! I have worked for Mr. Regirer for over 11 years. He was like a father to me. He looked after his sheep and flock, making sure they had their needs met. I will deeply miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs. Regirer. Remember Jesus never gives us more than we can handle. We love you, and support you.

I felt blessed to work for Mr. Regirer. He was a man who was stern about making sure his nursing homes gave high quality care to their residents. At the same time, he had a very big heart. When you work for the Regirers, you become part of a family and many of us feel that we have lost a father or a grandfather. God Bless him. My prayers and thoughts go out to Mrs. Regirer during this difficult time.

What a great loss. He will become a legend by no means. He had a toughness about him, military style, yet he had a very big and generous heart. I worked for the Regirers for twenty three years. He taught me so much, about life, setting and acheiving goals, he gave me so much inspiration. I always looked up to him, not only as my Administrator, but like a Father figure, as well. Even though he has passed away, his memories, his teachings, his kindness, and sterness will always be in my heart. My heart goes out to Mrs Regirer and friends of the family. He shall be missed. May God Bless.

Walt Regirer was one of a kind. He was a courageous man who dearly loved his country and his wife Maria and his profession. He was a bold man with vision who built communities of caring and assistance to our most delicate of people-our elderly. He loved the military uniform and enjoyed the camraderie of military life, the Military Order of the World Wars. He told me once that his success in life he owed to the Army. He was a gentleman. I will miss him greatly.
