Obituary for Richard E. Reinhard
Reinhard, Richard E. (Ricco, Biker) was born to eternal life peacefully at the age of 88 on Sunday, June 4, 2017 surrounded by his family. Survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Agnes. Preceded by his son Richard, son-in-law Charles, parents, brother Kenneth and sister Carolyn. Survived by sisters Ruthann and Janice, daughters: Susan Reinhard, Patricia Summers, and Jennifer (Jeff) Larson, grandchildren: Jeremy/Rose, Emily, Zachary, Zebedee, Amy, Katie, Nicole and great grandchildren: Samara, Amaya, and Jeremiah, and many relatives and friends.
He was a mild mannered, clever man who approached life with fortitude, intelligence, kindness and humor. He gave abundantly to his family and community. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree at UW-Whitewater and Master's Degree in Chemistry from Marquette University. He was a chemist for Allis Chalmers before beginning a teaching career as a Chemistry/Algebra teacher at New Berlin West High School where he also established and led the Biking Vikings and was an avid fan of numerous NBW sporting events throughout the years.
Agnes and Richard shared a lifetime of bicycling, camping and canoe trips with family and friends. Richard was active in Boy Scouts of America, earning the Silver Beaver Award. Ricco enjoyed serving on LeFeber Northwoods Camps staff for many summers.
He was a member of the Youngtimers, Badger Trails and the Milwaukee chapter of the Wisconsin All-Computer Users Club.
Faith in God was a thread throughout his life. He enjoyed and respected nature and lived by the theme of reduce, reuse and recycle. Rummage sale shopping was a treasured hobby.
Memorial service will be Saturday, July 15, 2017 at Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (11709 W. Cleveland Avenue, West Allis). Visitation 9:00 - 11:00 am Service 11:00.
If desired, memorials can be made to Boy Scouts of America, Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, First Lutheran Food Pantry or a charity of your choice.
