MONONA/STEVENS POINT-Richard Theodore “Dick” Reinholdt, 85, of Monona, Wis., passed away peacefully on Monday, Aug. 28, 2017, at The Villa at Middleton Village.  He was born on March 19, 1932, in Stevens Point, Wis., to Richard T. and Helen (Kilroe) Reinholdt. Richard graduated from P.J.

He married Sylvia Abrahamson of Tigerton, Wis., on June 22, 1957, in Stevens Point. Richard’s career in the title and abstract industry spanned over 40 years in Madison, with most of those years devoted to his own business, Title Research Corporation. He was an avid supporter of the City of Monona and the Monona Grove School District, for whom he volunteered countless hours. He was a member of the Monona City Council from 1982-1992 and served on numerous committees and task forces.

Our sympathy to Sylvia and the family. I worked with Dick as a fellow Monona alderperson for a number of years. He always had the best interest of the city in mind. He was responsible for keeping local bus service which operates to this date. He was influential in improving Maywood park from a mosquito infested watery area. He was fun to work with and always willing to discuss city affairs. All the best. Jim and Linda Hoelzel
