Mr. Reinhold and his wife returned to Indiana from Alabama and were lifelong residents of Pulaski County. He spent the majority of his professional work life in the farm machinery industry working with local farmers and their families across the state of Indiana (and beyond). He started with Allis Chalmers and Herb Hoch at Hoch Farm Supplies; from there he went green and worked with Gilsinger’s Farm Equipment, a John Deere dealership. He was a highly accomplished and nationally recognized salesman. He was a member of the American Legion and was formerly a 4-H adult leader for many years. He was a talented ballroom dancer with numerous awards, and he enjoyed bowling in several area leagues. Most of all, he enjoyed traveling to see his family.
