Policeman Reinheimer was shot and killed by a man he had just taken into custody.

Policeman Reinheimer had been called to the house by the sister-in-law of the man when he produced the handgun and began waving it around. Policeman Reinheimer had taken one handgun from the suspect, but the man pulled out a second handgun and shot him six times. The suspect was arrested a short time later after a shootout with other officers.

Policeman Reinheimer was a WWI veteran. He was survived by his wife and three sons.

Grandfather,
I am the youngest son of your youngest son (Edwin). There is so much I don't know about you, and yet when I look at your photo, I can see a bit of my Dad, a bit of my Uncle Harold, and even a bit of my brother Bill. Strong family resemblances, I suppose.
I've taken good care of your cavalry uniform, from the Great War. We've had another one of those--great wars, as well as a few other wars, since you departed. I just wanted to let you know, you are remembered, with what little memories, your descendants, were afforded.
I wish I could have met you. And I wish my Dad could have grown up, having you around.
Rest in Peace,
John
