Fred Reinhart's dash between March 11th, 1939 and April 14th, 2015. Fred was born on the farm of his grandfather and grandmother Charles and Emma Reinhart in the district of Tompkins on March 11th, 1939, their first grandchild and son of Andrew and Jean Reinhart. He is survived by his sister Irene, sister Judy (Jack) Forsyth, brother Ron (Terrie), brother Roy (Jo-ann), brother Ken (Beverly), sixteen nieces and nephews, twenty-seven great-nieces and nephews, and eleven great-great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and father, two brothers, one in infancy and Little Terry, who was disabled at birth but lived to age twenty-five, sister Irene's husband Ian and nephew Shannon, twenty-one years old, son of Ron and Terrie. Fred grew up in the Tompkins District. Fred was a family oriented and community minded person and was formerly the Tompkins Lions Club President. He worked in his uncle Tony's grocery store, sheared sheep in many areas of Saskatchewan, and took a welding course in Edmonton Alberta, a trade he could have pursued if not for the tragic death of his father who was killed in an auto accident in 1966. Fred took over the role of father to the family, on the farm, dedicating his whole life to supporting, caring for and helping his mom raise his siblings. He loved farming but not the cattle part. His second love was his guitar and he was busy playing in care homes, churches, funerals, and Friday night dances up to his passing. He left countless friends that he touched in his own special way. His musical family included fellow musicians, both men and ladies. These musical brothers and sisters were held in high regard in his heart as he often spoke of happy stories about them. Fred's CD "Fat Chance", which he made with Tom Andres and Alvin Dieger, was a real great accomplishment for Fred. It was so well received locally that they had to order a second order of CD's as they sold out. He also had an excellent sense of humour. His memory was second to none for remembering jokes and humorous stories. This quality stayed to the end. He had an enormous amount of visitors in the hospital, where he continued his magical talent of making people laugh, even while in a tough situation. That was Fred;always considering other people, even while he was fighting a horrible fight which he never complained about. Here is a cute story right from Fred himself that indirectly compliments his brothers. He always considered himself a good mechanic, until Roy tried his hand at mechanics. He also thought his humour was very good, until Ron started making people laugh. Then he said he thought he wasn't half bad at music, and then Ken had good luck in that field. Fred forgot to mention that just maybe he influenced and motivated them to try their hand at these things, which he did. Thanks Fred. Fred was actively involved with the church, regularly playing music. We have heard a lot of people prayed for Fred which maybe helped him leave the world peacefully. Fred passed away at Swift Current Cypress Regional Hospital on April 14th, 2015 at 7 a.m. The funeral service was held Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. from the Tompkins Community Centre with Reverend Gordon Willison officiating. Special music was played by Millie Spagrud. The Life Tribute was presented by Eleanor Rockabar. The ushers were Terry Winter and Gordon Cameron. The Pallbearers were all of Fred's nieces and nephews. The Interment Service took place at the Tompkins Community Cemetery. Fred will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by his family and friends. In his memory, memorial donation may be made to the Tompkins Community Centre, Box 9, Tompkins, SK S0N 2S0. Warren's Funeral Home in care of the arrangements.
