Roy Edward Reincke's Obituary
Roy E. Reincke
We lost our dad, husband, and grandfather, Roy E. Reincke on May 26, 2015. He is being welcomed into his heavenly home with wide open arms. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was born and raised on a farm in Charter Oak, Iowa on January 29, 1930. He worked in road construction for as long as he could. He moved his wife and family to Texas in 1957.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 65 years, Joan Reincke; daughters, Rita Buchheit and friend Leon Word and Ruth Holden; daughter-in-law, Dora Reincke and James Smith; also, granddaughter, Bridgette Thomasson and husband Craig and grandsons, Shane Buchheit and Ginny Jameson, Matthew Buchheit and wife Codie, and Michael Ryan Colwell, also his sister, Sally Swingdorf and many nieces and nephews. The light of his life was great grandson, Rex Robert Buchheit.
He was preceded in death by his son, Robert Reincke; parents, Anna and Ed Reincke; and brothers, Vernon and Leonard Reincke.
Roy enjoyed being outside and trips to the boats.
