John was a good man. We always enjoyed visiting with John and Betty when you came out to Arizona. John had some good stories and would always make my John and I laugh.
He is with the Lord.

I can't say how sorry I am that such a wonderful man has left us but he's blessing the Lord now. Mrs. Rinehart he was such an influence on me, really more of a father to me, I love him very much. Taking Deb & I to go swimming at Henry Ford, letting me be involved with the Nativity Scene. With you I learned so much, washing dishes in hot water only and learning to make pizza, you were an influence on me to. I love you dearly and always will. May God bless and keep the both of you.

SO,SORRY TO HEAR THAT JOHN PASSED AWAY !  He,was one of the good guys! HE,always had a way of doing things,to keep his self busy.GOD BLESS, his wife Betty and family! yours, truly ! LAURI, from ESTABROOKS HAVENCREST

I have the honor to work with Debbie here in Tucson. Her stories of her Dad, and her strong Faith in God, have always brought great smiles and joy to us!  I know that he is so very proud of her!  God's Blessing to you all!  With so much love and prayers! Kathy

I am sorry to hear about your Dad.  He was a great man.  One of those rare people who was good at a lot of different things.  I always enjoyed it when he and your Mom came up to the U.P. to visit.  


Hold on to all of the great memories you have of him.  They will help you get through the sad days.  

If you have a favorite shirt of his that you would like made into a pillow, let me know.  Here is a link to photos of the pillows I made from my Dad's shirts.

Our thoughts and prayers our with the Rinehart family.  Debby has been such a dear friend to me for more then 30 years. I enjoyed meeting John and Betty when they visited Arizona and love to hear Debby talk about what a special loving father her Dad was.

 Mom, Kathy, Gail, John Jr, Fred, Sally,
                                                  Remembering Dad:
   Remember the things that Dad did to show he cared. The sound of Dad's voice. The wisdom he shared. His faith in God. A piece of advice you'll never forget. The way that Dad lived, the examples he set and values he taught us. The pride in his work and the extra odd jobs that he did, and did well. I  think all of us have something that he has worked on or made for our homes.
   The joking and teasing he did all in fun. Even his songs that he would sing to lighten up his day. Dad's laugh till he had tears in his eyes .Respected by friends and family. 
     His Love for Mom and us children. He had the biggest heart. How we cherish the last time that he got all of us together. The Roses he gave us showing his Love and Remembrance of our Family.
     When we think of Dad, and everything that made him the Man he was, his memory lives on through all of us.
Debra Wilson (Rinehart)      Tucson, AZ

We are sad for the loss but take comfort he is with loving family and friends and is out of any pain and suffering. I have many wonderful memories of Grandpa fishing, paddle boating, long walks, and many laughs in Fowlerville. He will be missed and cherished.

Dear.Aunt Betty and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear that your dad has passed.  I was hoping that his move to White Lake would be something that brought him joy.  You are so right- I can see him joking, laughing and having a great time in heaven.  God bless you and your family in this time of loss.

Vicky and I are so very sorry to hear about your Father. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him. I loved his sense of humor and how he loved to work around your house to keep busy when he visited. Give my love and best wishes to your Mother and family. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much you are loved.
Love,
Jeff and Vicky Nickerson (Tucson, AZ)

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family for your loss. I loved working with him when he would come out to visit Debby and Bobby in Tucson. May your memories of his long, loving life give you peace and comfort.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
