Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute

Richard D. Reineck, 87, of Shawnee, Kansas passed away Friday, March 25, 2011. He was born March 7, 1924 in Bluffton, Indiana.  Graduating from Bluffton High School, Richard moved to California where he graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration.  Richard worked in the aerospace industry for years before retiring from Rockwell International in 1989. Richard’s zest for life, and love for his family and friends were his hallmark.  He truly enjoyed spending time with his kids and later in life his grandkids alike.  Richard touched so many lives in so many ways; his life story will be told for generations to come. Richard is survived by his wife, Barbara Reineck and their 4 children, Dr. Scott Reineck of Del Mar, California; Jill Cooney of Olathe, Kansas; Brett Reineck of Tustin, California, Lynn Mulder of Shawnee, Kansas, and 8 grandchildren.

    I have so many fond memories of Rich. He was always smiling and laughing. Never forget the time Jill and I were in the car and he hit an ice spot in the road and we all hit our heads on the roof. We cracked up for days. My heart goes out to all of you. xoxo

    What an amazing man, with a wide smile legacy. Your family showed me what love looked like, and how laughter could flow and smiles could be free. I felt welcome in your home, and I cherish your family, and Richard’s lead of it. I rejoice over his life, and celebrate his journey through it, he blessed anyone who met him, including me. Love you Richard. Love you Barbara, Scott, Jill, Brett, and Lynn. My heart is with you.

    Life is fleeting.
    Love is not.



  22. Larry and Frann Marple on March 31, 2011 at 6:20 am

    We walked with Rich at Oak Park Mall. We always looked forward to seeing him and sitting down for a few minutes to razz each other. We saw Rich about 10 days before his passing…wish I had known it would be the last time on this earth. Loved this guy and his Snickers.



  23. George and Bobbie on March 31, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    Dear Barbara and family, My first message didn’t go through so I will try again.
    We have so many happy memories of times with you and Rich.
    Our trip to Alaska was amazing. Every minute.
    Rich was always interested in everything and everyone around him. He was bigger than life. We will miss him.
    We will be checking on you.
    Love to all of you.
