I was in the food line at the reunion next to Dennis and had a wonderful conversation with him. How tragic. Rest in peace, Dennis.

I knew Dennis from 3rd grade on at Washington Twsp. & on to Northwood as well as North Side ! Always smiling and always happy as he could be. We (Charrie & myself) saw him at the 50th reunion and were very surprised he was there with losing his wife Linda just about a week prior. Now after seeing him at our 55th & spending time with him it was a shock to see his obiturary in the newspaper. Our prayers to the family and may you rest in peace now with Linda ! God bless you Dennis R. Reiling !!!

I knew Dennis from Northwood Jr. High. He would never walk past you without a smile and something to say. I would see him coming and going at Lowe's. He always stopped to chat. He also told me about his wife Linda. I was so sad for him. My thoughts and prayers for Dennis and his family during this difficult time.
