Mr and Mrs. Reinhart, my heart goes out to you and your family. This is a shock to all of us. I was fortunate to get to know Eric when I lived in Lemont back in the late 80s, and very happy to capture some fun memories of all of us while we explored downtown Chicago.

You have my deepest condolences

My friend Eric Reinhart passed away at age 37. I've known Eric for the past 30 years. He's the one in the downtown Chicago video on my Facebook page. He was with me, Anthony Caccavale, and Ron Nastasowski. I remember as a kid riding BMX bikes with him and as we got older I remember riding around in his Cadillac Cimarron. Thanks for the great memories and always being a great friend.
