"Dad" Reimer was a wonderful person and a strong male influence in my young life. His daughter, Beth, and I were inseparable best friends throughout our highschool years and I had the priviledge of spending a lot of time with the Reimers. Dad and Mom Reimer, along with Beth and her 2 boys visited me in Wisconsin over 10 years ago. I love them very much. My condolences to my ever second family. May God bless you in your loss and hold you dearly in the sweet memories that Dad Reimer leaves with you. Much love.
