Lewis I. Reinberg, W2BIE
March 15, 2008
We are sorry to report the passing of Lew, W2BIE. Lew moved from Baltimore to Hempstead Long Island a number of years ago but always kept in touch. Lew and son Steve came to our hamfest religiously each year, often getting up at 3 AM to make the trip from Long Island. He was active in LIMARC. We will miss his pleasant countenance during his appearances on 63/03. Our condolences to his son Steve (N2HOK) and wife Elaine (W2ECR).

From eham.net:

I regret to inform you of the passing of Lew Reinberg, W2BIE. Lew was licensed as a ham in 1953 and was very active on all bands (hf, vhf, and uhf.) He was a very active dxer and well known in the ham communities in New York and his beloved Baltimore.

Retired from the photographic and electronics industry, Lew’s last job was with the Azden Company who at one time made rock-solid ham radios. Both Lew’s wife w2ecr & son n2hok are active amateurs.

I don’t think there was a room in Lew’s house that wasn’t within ear shot of a ham radio or scanner.

Services will be held today (Monday 3/17) at 10AM at:

At YOUNG ISRAEL of WEST HEMPSTEAD
630 Hempstead Ave.
West Hempstead, NY 11552
