When Al married into the Reinig family, he became the first big brother to six of us. He reveled in his role, teasing us, making us laugh, teaching us to fish and being a great role model for all of us. He shared our successes and was there when we needed him. He was a philosopher who asked questions like “Do wet birds fly at night.” He did scientific experiments like seeing how many White Castles Mike could eat without getting sick. He played Santa Claus for many years for us and our children. His sense of humor was unmatched. He gave us the gift of his time and his company. Who could ask for more? We will miss your smile, your laughter, you sharing your wine with us. We love you.
Always could talk baseball with Al, He loved his Cardinals, but when they were bad he still rooted them on. He always had a funny story or limerick, Great brother-in-law and I miss our talks!!!
Dad - I miss sitting in your workshop watching you make so many wood cutouts that make people smile. I miss going to the tavern with you and having your friends call me little red. I miss learning about baseball and football while you yelled at the tv when the Cardinals (football and baseball) had bad games which was a lot back then. I miss playing cards with you and always winning - or not so much, but we were great partners! Pop up little bunny! I miss and will miss sharing a bottle of wine with you. I just MISS you! All my love, Jan.
