What a guy. Randy you were an inspiration by your daily long distance jog, abundant energy to get together with friends, and your wide range of interests. I.e. golf and cars. It was obvious how happy you were with Cristy by your side. Rest in peace, dear friend. I’ll feel your presence especially when I’m visiting Milwaukee. Sharyn Meagher

Randy Reinhardt was our friend for more than 40 years. What always struck me as remarkable was that, from afar, Randy seemed larger than life—a social giant. But the moment you got to know him, you quickly discovered that behind that presence was one of the most genuine, caring, and loyal friends you could ever have. You know a person has a great heart when he is surrounded by an eclectic group of friends from every walk of life and every economic sphere. Randy had a unique gift for making people feel valued, respected, and welcomed, no matter who they were. Randy was one of those rare people you somehow thought would live forever. The world was a better place because he was in it, and it would be a better place if he were still here. Rest in peace, Randy. We love you, and we will miss you. Dave & Pam

Thinking of you, Cristy. You and Randy were a beautiful couple with a zest for everything. Randy will be deeply missed. ❤️

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Randy will be greatly missed by all of us at the gym who had the privilege of knowing him. He was always so kind, dedicated, and a pleasure to be around. Beyond the gym, I'm confident Randy touched many lives through both his personal and professional life, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of meeting his sister, Kristie, while traveling together in New Zealand and Australia. My thoughts and prayers are with her and the entire Reinhardt family during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Randy's passing! He was larger than life. I knew Randy while I lived in Milwaukee from 1976 to 1983. He was in our poker group and a fellow member of The Milwaukee Athletic Club. I look forward to celebrating is life on August 20th. My sincere condolences to Christy and his family! Kip Kindregan Phoenix, AZ

We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to Cristy and the Reinhardt family. We have many wonderful memories of spending time with Randy and Cristy. From going on a boat ride on Lake Geneva, sharing Thanksgiving or Easter dinner at Barb and Doug’s. Or giving us a bar tour of the Brickell area in Miami the night before our cruise. Randy was always fun to be with. We know he will be missed by so many. We have a feeling, he is still on the go and not resting.

My deepest sympathy.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
