Robert Neil Rinehart

Robert Neil Rinehart, age 82, a resident of Cape Coral, FL, passed away peacefully at home June 6, 2022 with his wife by his side.

Bob was born October 9, 1939 in Clearfield, PA to Olive Rinehart and subsequently moved with his family to Niagara Falls, NY where he grew up.

In the early 1960’s, he and his close buddies set out for California to seek their fortunes.  There, Bob attended Pasadena Junior College while working full time.  Always looking for better opportunities, Bob became an estimator for several large commercial construction companies in Washington State and Alaska. He later owned and operated a successful steel fabrication enterprise, Totem Steel, in Woodinville, WA.

In 2000, the new millennium, Bob retired, sold the business and relocated to Landenberg, PA to marry his long time friend, Marjorie Beachy.  He enjoyed many years traveling to Europe, cruising the Caribbean, visiting old friends, playing cards and playing the ponies. In 2008, Bob and Margie bought a condo in Cape Coral and became “snow birds”.  When travel became too difficult, the couple decided to become full time residents of Florida enjoying the sunny weather and each other’s company.

Robert is survived by his wife of 22 years, Marjorie Beachy, his son, Dr. David M. Rinehart, his stepsons, John Beachy and wife Carol, Glenn Beachy and wife Christine, and five step grandchildren, many cousins and friends.  He was predeceased by his son Michael Rinehart.

The family wishes to thank Hope Hospice for their caring support and suggest that donations be made to them in Robert’s memory. (Hope Hospice, 9470 Healthpark Cir., Fort Myers, FL 33908).

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cape Coral, is entrusted with final care.
