Douglas J. Reinig

Douglas J. Reinig passed away April 7, 2018.

Doug was born Jan. 8 1950, in Bergenfield, N.J., to Henry Reinig and Catherine Barnes Reinig.

He was the middle child of three. He spent his childhood in Bergenfield, N.J., and attended Bergenfield High School, where he played on the football team, graduating in 1968.

He moved to Wyoming in the 1970s and worked various carpentry jobs in Cheyenne and Laramie until finally settling in Rock Springs in the late 70s, and spending the rest of his life based there.

Carpentry was not just his trade, but his passion, and he specialized in joinery, stairs and railings.
