I was a FTM2 on the USS Gridley CG21 in 1982 when Admiral (Captain) Reimann, Change of Command from Captain JJ McGrath. Admiral (Captain) Reimann Frocked me to FTM1 and I qualified for in port OOD. Admiral (Captain) Reimann granted me leave in Hong Kong as I had a passport and allowed me leave to sightsee as I was due to be Honorable Discharged when the Westpac was over. After trying to re-enlist me, (Tough Choice), Admiral (Captain) Reimann, wrote a Letter of Recommendation which I show on Job Interviews and it has helped me in my career as an BSEE @ U Mass Lowell using the GI BILL. I have wonderful life and Admiral (Captain) Reimann, helped. As the years go by, The US Navy, and my service in it, made me the good (mostly, I try) man I am.
Fair Winds and Following Seas Admiral Reimann.

I was a Radarman Third Class aboard the USS Courtney, DE-1021, homeported in Naples, Italy, when Admiral Reimann was the ship's CO. I remember Lieutenant Commander Reimann as an excellent skipper, who took the time to know his ship's company. I felt he saw something in me. During his time as CO, I was able to assume considerable responsibilities beyond my junior status.
A few years ago, I was in contact with Admiral Reimann, because I have been conducting research for another book. This one is about the history of the ships of Escort Squadron Eight in the Med between 1970 and 1973. The Admiral informed me that he had documentation in his possession during the time he was CO. Unfortunately, we were not able to connect. Is there a possibility to meet with family members to discuss the possibility of me reviewing his documents? Thank you.

Admiral Reimann was far from a taciturn individual. When I was Fire Control Officer aboard GRIDLEY, he was discussing how to ensure that you never failed an inspection; or as the speech was known as the "Did He do's" speech. It was a rather animated speech which left no doubt in what his direction and guidance entailed. At the end of his "presentation" (I doubt he would have approved of my characterization of his speech was a presentation but ...) , he looked at the XO and said, "XO, why do Academy grads say "no excuse" when they don't do something right? I don't want that, I would rather hear loud and clear, "I screwed it up, sir". Why XO? Why? I don't want sheep, I want tigers, tigers, I say, XO!" He proceeded to walk out of the wardroom, clawing the air and snarling like a tiger. I looked at the XO who was biting his lip and he said, "Well, I was going to say " No excuse, Sir" but figured it wouldn't work."
tStory aside, Admiral Reimann was a positive and influential person in both my personal life and naval career. My service under him was the beginning of one of the best times of life, period. I have a great deal to thank him fo that beginning. Fair winds and following seas, Captain.

I was one of then LCDR Reimann's radarmen onboard the USS Courtney. I am sorry for missing his funeral, but I was out of town at the time. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I have been writing the history of Escort Squadron Eight and its three ships. I had been in contact with the Admiral, but I was not able to follow up. His passing gives me great emphasis to continue my work as a tribute to him.

RADM Reimann was kind enough to agree to perform a commissioning ceremony for a sole JAGC recruit. While I was in law school I went to the Navy recruiter in DC to join the Judge Advocate General Corps. I was told I would take my Oath of office in the recuirters office and then get a uniform at OIS. I had watched other friends have commisisoning ceremonies at the ROTC Units or the ceremony at the Naval Aacademy and I thought everyone should feel more welcomed into the Navy. RADM Reimann, NAVSEASYSCOM to the rescue. He graciously agreed to perform a ceremony in our blues at Mount Vernon so I would be able to look back on my Commissioning with Pride. My memories and pictures from that day are among my prized possessions. He will be missed.

Dear Mrs. Reimann and family, Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. We were shipmates in the Navy Department and know firsthand what a great contribution Bob made to rebuild our Navy as part of President Reagan's successful effort to end the Cold War. He will be sorely missed by all who served with him, and of course most deeply by all of you. Warm regards, John and Barbara Lehman

I was a 3rd Class Boatswains Mate on board the USS Chicago CG-11when Admiral Reimann was only a Commander and serving as the XO of the ship under Captain Piotti. There was a day while in port at North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego. We were pierside and tied along side of us was the USS Long Beach. In port our ships like to do missile training opperations and maintenance by bringing the training missiles out onto the launchers to make sure everything was working as it should. On this day I was working forward on the Forecastle and the Long Beach was working with their forward launchers at the time. On our ship we have Tartar Missiles just below the bridge of the ship and I could hear them running the trainers in and out of both launchers for a while. After that our men began setting up to do the same on our forward launcher just as Captain Piotti and then Commander Reimann came forward to watch the opperation of the missile launcher up close. While there one of the young officers from the Long Beach called over from his ship. They had one of their Terrier Missiles on the rail of their launcher. He smugly joked, This is what your Tartar Missiles will look like when they grow up. As if he was proud of what he had there. A Terrier is a Tartar with a booster attached to it for more distance. Captain Piotti gave the go ahead to our guys running our Talos Launcher. A moment later the missile hatch opened and a very large Talos Missile slid out onto the rail of the Launcher. Commander Reimann turned to the young officer on the Long Beach with a smile and said "And this is what will eat your entire ship for lunch and use those things you call missiles as toothpicks when the meal is done". Everyone on the Forecastle that morning broke out into laughter. I never got to serve under him as the Captain of any vessle but I believe he would have been a great Captain to serve with because under Captain Piotti and Commander Reimann we had one of the best crews the Navy could have and we set the standards for all the other ships to strive for setting a record in Missile excellency awards and Battle Efficiency awards that has not been passed yet by any other ships in command.
Fair Winds and Following Seas Admiral Reimann, Hope I get to sail with you again someday when my time comes.

My heartfelt prayers go out to Admiral Reimann's family and friends at this time. I served with Admiral Reimann on board the USS CHICAGO when he was the XO and he has my respect and admiration for the ability he had in making our ship the best in the fleet. His sense of humor and his loyalty to the men of the ship made him well liked by many. His firm hand demand for striving to be the best made him well respected by all. I'm saddened by this loss and feel the pains as if I lost a brother much the way most military veterans do. Fair Winds and Following Seas Admiral.

I remember Adm. Reimann from the time I served on the USS Chicago CG11. He was the XO of the Chicago and was a real go getter in turning around the performance of the crew and the ship. Rest in peace "Bear."

I first learned of Captain Reimann's legendary leadership from my friend Ron Peterman, who had served under him as XO on the GRIDLEY. Later, when I had command of USS LUCE, and needed to urgently fill my vacant Chief Engineer position, then Admiral Reimann called me to recommend one of his former officers for the job. A number of men had applied and interviewed for the position, but none were quite up to it. The resume of the Admiral's acolyte was problematic - he had been "relieved" in his previous assignment. However, Admiral Reimann knew the officer was capable and took the extraordinary effort to support him. Admiral Reimann convinced me to interview and hire that man (contrary to my Squadron Commander's advice). It was one of the best decisions I made while in command. And it was because Admiral Reimann didn't abandon his belief in good men and was an exceptional judge of character. Adm Reimann is one of the heroes that I frequently remember from my 32 year Navy career. He epitomized the motto "Non sibi sed patriae." May he rest in peace now that his voyage is finally over.
