Floyd Milton Reinhardt was born January 12, 1922, in rural Hand county to John A. and Ada P. (Johnson) Reinhardt. He attended country school in Hand County and then entered the United States Army, where he served from November 16, 1942 until October 8, 1943 when he received his honorable discharge. Floyd went to work at a factory in Hastings, MN, where he met his future bride, Genevieve Hopp.
Floyd and Genevieve were married September 22, 1945. To this union, six children were born. They made their home in Hastings, MN. Together they owned and operated Hastings Cab Company for 27 years. In 1973, they relocated to their farm in Hand County working side by side until retiring into Miller in 1987. Among the proudest moments of Floyd’s life was being able to walk his granddaughter Rachel down the aisle in his son’s honor.
Floyd was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Miller. He enjoyed pheasant hunting with family and watching Twins baseball. He and Genevieve were season ticket holders from when the Twins moved to Minneapolis in 1961 until the couple moved to South Dakota.
Those left to cherish his life include five of his six children: Janice (Andrew) Kalin of Hastings, MN, Larry of Miller, Douglas (Kay) of Prescott, WI, Jeffrey (Naomi) of Huron, and Lori (Terry) Danburg of Wessington; one daughter-in-law, Colleen Reinhardt of Hastings, MN; 11 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; and two sisters: Lorraine Schweitzer and Pearline Grogan.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one son, Lance Reinhardt; six brothers and one sister.

So sorry for your loss he was a great man
Sorry for your loss Our Deepest Sympathy Dr. Dick and Kathy Splichal
Grandpa, you will be missed, I love you. I am so sorry, I cannot make it, to the services.
So sorry Uncle I can’t make it. I’m on vacation. Will surely miss you. Will remember the good all times out at the farm hunting pheasants and eating those delicious apples. The good ole times at Lake Louise. The 4th of July was always fun with the Minnesota clan. Keeping the family in prayer. Love ya and will think of you often.
We have been wondering about Uncle Floyd. Uncle Ray Hopp called us to inform us of Uncle Floyd’s passing. He lived a long full life. We sure enjoyed their visits when they used to come visit my Mom (Esther Holmquist, who is also 97 years old now). Our thoughts and prayers are with you cousins as you go through this difficult time. Sincerely, cousin Mavis
Our sympathy to the families of Floyd, we will remember his kind nature, and was so happy we could visit him. We also visited the courthouse in Miller, which was right across from his home. It was nice to see his name on the wall of the courthouse, with all the World War II vets. He lived life as a true American. May he rest in peace.
