WESTERLO –

We mourn the loss of William G. Reinecke, III, of Westerlo, NY. Born to Irma (Slefka) Reinecke and William G. Reinecke, Jr on June 4, 1945.

During his working years, Bill was employed by both Henkel and Stiefel Labs.

Bill’s main objective on his journey in life, was to make those whom he came in contact with smile, laugh and feel good about their memories together. He was a person who made every day brighter just by being a part of it.

He is survived by his daughter Deborah Bendel (Kerry) of Westerlo, his sons, William G. Reinecke, IV, of Rensselaerville, NY and Paul Scutt of Philadelphia, PA and his former wife, Ellen Reinecke of Rensselaerville, NY. His grandchildren: Kiersten Bates (Keith), Kerry Bendel, Jr. (Kait). He is also survived by his great grandchildren, who were his treasure, Kaelynn and Kelso Bates, Laikyn and RJ Darling and Kolton Bendel. Bill is also survived by his loving sister, Diane Reinecke Huber of Ormond Beach, FL.

Those who wish may make a donation in William’s name to: Albany County EMS Office, 380 Fox Creek Roaf, Medusa, NY 12120

There will be a Celebration of Bill’s Life in the summer of 2026.
