I interned with Gus as a young screenwriter way back when.  I remember him as a brilliant, generous,  goodhearted, life-loving man, just the kind of person who it seems is always taken from us too soon.

Had no idea of your accomplishments as a screen writer during the time you served on the Board of the Thomas Merton Center, a Trappist monk who also died too young.

So very sorry, I had no idea. Dear friend, writers room camarade with whom I shared an occasional bottle of fine Bordeaux after hours. Good conversation always.  Adieu.  Felicia Rosshandler

As I recently worked on my Family Tree, I saw that Your Father was My Father's (Giles Conrad)Uncle.
  May we that still journey here on earth be blessed in fulfilling Gods purpose in our lives.
  I shall honor you and our heritage by learning of and watching the good works you left here on earth.
Rest Well, Cousin Gus, among the Faithfully departed.

Dear Friends of Gustave Reininger,

Gus passed away on April 19, 2012.
Let us pray for Gale and their children.
May G.d confort them and protect them.

Dr Michel CALVO - From Jerusalem.

Flashbacks to our time in New York. Gratitude for your care of Gregory. Still hoping we all get to see your final work.
Be seeing you on the rebound.

Dear Gus,
We met in 1973 and became friends. We worked together while I was a lawyer in France. You invited me in your home and our children had a great time in Pacific Palisades. I was sure that you will receive the Taormina price. I did not expect you to get ill and to die. You did not replied to my emails and my calls. I understood that you wanted to remain alone. It is strange that God took you back after Corso the Last Beat, a movie on good actions. I am sure that God will give a good place in heavens. 
Gustave, Gus, my friend it is difficult for me to believe that you left us.
Pray for us.
Your friend Michel CALVO from Jerusalem, Israel.

I was shocked to hear about Gus - I have SO many fond and fun memories of him.    We met on a three week retreat Thomas Keating gave at the Lama Institute in 1984.  He was an amazing person - one of my most favorite people.  I will miss him.

Gus my friend, just heard the news, rest easy. Hadn't been in touch for about a year but we had a special heavenly connection with Gus as my wife Lisa was married to Gregorio decades ago and raised his son Max.
Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bhodisvaha.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Reininger was my son's professor only last semester. I had the pleasure of exchanging a few emails with him. He was a kind man. The laughter coming from my son's room, while viewing hours of film assignments, was contagious. His knowledge of film history was a source of pleasure for my son, as well as our home. Thank you Professor Reininger, for your lasting imprint on our lives. May the memories of good times comfort your family at this difficult time.

Dear Brother Gus,  
I know that God has warmly  embraced you in his loving arms.  You are safe now.  My thoughts and prayers to your family and loved ones.  You will be dearly missed.
Peace.  Men's Cornerstone.

May our Lord Jesus bless and keep you and give you and your family peace at this time.

Brother Gus, we miss you and may you rest in peace with our Lord and Savior. May the Lord bring peace to your family. It was an honor to know you and call you my brother. 

St. Monica Men's Cornerstone

Condolences to Gus' family and community.

Knowing that you are a Cornerstone Brother tells me so much about who you are, Gustave. Although I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, please know that I pray for you and your family. God Bless you. We will see you again.

You are missed Brother Gus. May you be in company with Christ and rejoicing in God's Kingdom. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

St. Monica Men's Cornerstone

Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord
and let perpetual light shine on him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed
rest in peace.

Had him as a teacher.  A lot of memories in that class.  It's a shame!!!

Cherish the good memories and know that your loss is shared by many who care.  Thinking of you.  Lisa Warren (Lincoln, NE)

To his family, please accept my sincere condolences. I never met Gus in person, but I regarded him as a friend after countless email exchanges and many hours of telephone conversations that at times went into the night. More than a year and a half ago, Gus called me at home, wanting to talk about his ongoing movie project, the Bay of Pigs. Our followup discussions ranged over many topics, but the dominant subject was always his script on the Bay of Pigs. His interest in history was infectious; his zest for life was an inspiration. We wrestled long hours with the motivations of the many characters involved in this drama; and in the process I learned so much about Gus as a person. I feel as if I knew him, even though I never had the pleasure of meeting him. Indeed, Mary Ann and I were finalizing plans about flying to see him when we learned that he had passed away. Rest in peace Gus.
