His biggest goal in life was always making sure everyone he loved was taken care of. He had a laugh that would take the wind out of you just hearing it and you could always count on seeing him at 6am inside of the Stewarts in Pine Bush buying 2 morning coffees with extra cream, no sugar. Survivors include wife Sharon at home, daughter Amber Rhein, brothers Jimmy Rhein and Justin Compton, sisters Barbara and Sandy Rhein, nephews George and Joseph Rhein and countless dear friends that have become family like Steven and Eugene Pirog.
