Personal Life
In 1940, Reines married Sylvia Samuels, who bore him two children, Robert and Alisa, who in turn produced six grandchildren. He died at age 80 in 1998.
Union City, New Jersey resident and Hudson County Genealogical and Historical Society board member Kathie Pontis has suggested that the pedestrian bridge bridge being constructed at the four-way intersection at Kennedy Boulevard and 32nd Street, which connects Union City, New Jersey with North Bergen, be named after Reines. According to Pontis, the naming would not only honor Reines' work, but would be appropriate in that the bridge connects the town in which Reines lived with the neighboring town in which he attended high school.

My very life again though cold in death:

Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.”
