Dear Louise and Anne,
We just found out a few days ago of the sad passing of Irv. Please know you’re in our thoughts and prayers and we’re sending our sincere condolence to you all. Living right next door we have such fond memories of Irv and honestly can’t think of a kinder person and neighbor. He was always willing to let us use your yard for kickball games and tiring rolling and such! Irv was so easygoing and friendly and it’s so good to have those childhood memories of such a nice neighbor. Of course we can’t forget all the snowmobile rides he gave us that we still reminisce about to this day!
We honor his sacrifice to our Country also, having served in the United States Air Force. THANK YOU!
With Love and respect,
David Stauffer Jr. and Donna Stauffer Hershey

Mrs. Reinert, I have many neighborhood memories from my childhood. One is if you happen to be outside when Mr. Reinhart was mowing grass getting the mail pulling into the driveway you were guaranteed a big smile and a wave . Didn’t matter if you were the ornery kid of the neighborhood he was kind to us all . Lifting you up in Prayer and sending condolences to you Annie Sheila and the boys .
