ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. • Darrel Lee Reinfeld, age 78, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2020, in Zephyrhills, Fla., with his children. Darrel was born in Mitchell, S.D., Jan. 27, 1942.

He loved to go to the diner in Halifax and the donut shop in Zephyrhills to shoot the breeze. Darrel was a man who truly loved Farmall tractors (International Harvester) and would be the first to tell you, “If it ain’t red, leave it in the shed.” He also liked Harley Davidson, Ford and some John Deere tractors. He was a simple man with the greatest mechanical talent and considered a master mechanic on vehicles, heavy equipment and tractors. Many friends and family would say he was the “go-to guy.” He was preceded in death by his father Grant Reinfeld and brother Harlan Reinfeld. Surviving in addition to his mother Lillian are his sisters Annette Gerhart with husband Dick, Carol Myers with husband Harold; sister-in-law Harlan’s wife Joyce L.; his daughters Mychelle Raisbeck Lawrence with husband Dave and Kymberly Corkum with husband Donald L.; his son Darrell E.
