Irwin Reinharz
Beloved son, brother,uncle and friend passed away Sunday evening June 12, 2016. Born August 4, 1955 to Perla and the late Samuel Reinharz. Brother to Bette Blanchard and Uncle to Kim and Mike Blanchard. He was a proud San Francisco resident all of his life.
He was very fond of his childhood, and one of his favorite past times was playing ball in the school yard with all his friends. He attended Washington High School while working at Safeway then he went onto San Francisco State where he graduated with a BA in Business
Unfortunately Irwin at the age of 23 was diagnosed with Spinal Ependymona which resulted in him being permanently disabled for the remainder of his life. He was given a short period of time to live but he lived another 38 happy years. Rest assured his disability did not hinder his wit, brilliance and zest for life.
His biggest passion was music. Growing up he collected records and attended many concerts. He could answer just about any music trivia question you had for him. His favorite bands included Tower of Power, The Beatles and The Temptations. Irwin loved his sports, and was a dedicated SF Giants and 49er fan.
He will be truly missed by his family and friends. Services were held Wednesday, June 15th 2016 at Salem Cemetery. Memorial donation can be made to the Jewish Family and Children services of San Francisco. Sinai Memorial Chapel.
