A true professional in law enforcement and the military! I flew with Pee Wee many times in the Arkansas Air Guard. It was always comforting to know Pee Wee was in the KC 135 boom pod passing gas. The mission debriefs would always end up a party when he was there. We have lost a special man. May God comfort his family and many friends. RIP good buddy!

Jerry was so much fun to be around at our meetings and functions. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen him but I sure do remember his great humor and just a shining person to be around. Miss ya brother.

Mixed emotions as I read these tributes to Jerry. Smiling at the anecdotes and vignettes, weeping at the sense of loss—not only for individuals, families, and communities, but also for humanity at large. Truth! This world is a better place because Jerry Reinold lived, and it’s seriously diminished by his death. But we grieve not as those who have no hope. As many have said already, we will see Jerry again. We will. Meanwhile, to Pat, Michelle, and Heather—whom I adore—I wish grace and peace and the blessing of God’s own presence as you walk through this dark valley. Please know that we are all walking with you…and we are here when you need us. â¤ï¸

I grew up with Jerry in Camp Robinson, graduated with him from Sylvan Hills HS, and served with him in the Arkansas National Guard. He was a can-do, will-do kind of guy and a lot of fun to be around. I am very sorry to see him go. RIP Jerry.

Jerry was a great neighbor to our family for almost 5 years, and as busy as we are- passing his house back and forth multiple times a day- he ALWAYS waved at us while he sat on the patio. He was fond of our son Maverick, and every time we drove by Maverick would yell, “Hi, Jerry!â€
I’ve caught myself looking that way since he passed, and we’ll all miss him.
Pat, we love you very much. Please remember we’re not far away.

Jerry was a good friend to both Deronda and me... a very nice guy... He came up behind Deronda at one of the class reunions and she squealed and said "That must be Pee Wee". He answered and said "They don't call me that anymore". in answer she said he would always be Pee Wee to her, he will be missed.

Jerry has been my next door neighbor for 20 years. It started with Jerry and Polly and ended with Jerry and Pat. So many fond memories of this family. Jerry was loud, funny, strong, honest, friendly, and a good cook. He cared about everybody. I’m going to miss him setting on the patio. I’m really going to miss him mowing that yard every other day! LOL. Great memories and a great friend. Love to all of his family, Carol

A legend, a dedicated friend to all who knew him, Master Sergeant (Retired) Jerry (Pee Wee) Reinold has departed the Air Refueling Orbit. Jerry was a superb Inflight Refueling Boom Operator on KC-135s and KC-10s with the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. He was also retired from decades of outstanding service with the Arkansas State Police. I was blessed and honored to serve Our Nation with Jerry and survived, where every mission, everyday, was an unforgettable adventure. A Veteran of hundreds of air refueling missions in the Middle East, Jerry always got it done, His Way! Buddy, it’s going to be tough not having you around but we’ll see your contrails across the sky and know they are yours and we’ll be thinking of you.
May Our Lord give Pat, Michelle, and Family comfort and understanding. May you Rest In Peace My Brother, My Best Friend and may we have another “cold beer from Miller†soon.

To the Reinold Family:
Very sad to hear about Jerry's passing. Like Bill Mullenax, Bill Mitchell, Tommy Goodwin, and Jerry Roberts, he was a trooper's trooper, unlike today. Jerry was one who would not cover up bad behavior or dishonesty by coworkers. A man of high integrity!!!
I met Jerry in Spring 1977 just after he'd replaced my mentor, O.H. "Bill" Mullenax, as ASP Public Information Officer. I was going to write the "History of the Arkansas State Police", for Public Administration Class at UCA on my first Bachelor's Degree.
Bill made arrangements for me and I went down to interview Jerry at the original HQ on Roosevelt Road. Jerry spent the better part of 2 hours plus with me going over material for my term paper, which I sent him a copy.
He carried me from the Road Patrol Act of 1929, through the Rangers, and into the State Police days.
Next time I spoke with him was a few years ago when we both were in physical therapy at Greenbrier. We were able to catch up on each other since that first visit in 1977.
We both shared a mutual distaste of corruption, total incompetence, & the lack of integrity that has entered the peace officer field, (esp. A.S.P.) that now exists.
I wish I could have seen Jerry one more time; & over a good lunch.
The state of Arkansas & the Peace Officer field has lost a great man & peace officer. The country needs a lot more men & peace officers like Jerry Reinhold.
