He is survived by his five sons and four daughters-inlaw, Felipe and Luz Reinoso of Lima, Peru, Delfin and Isabel Reinoso of Greenacres, FL, Carlos and Engracia Reinoso of Boynton Beach, FL, Raul Marcos and Maria Reinoso of Bridgeport and Julio Percy Reinoso of Bridgeport, CT; his grandchildren, Carlos and Stacy Reinoso Jr. of Monroe, CT, Roberto and Diana Reinoso of Wellington, FL, Johnny Lee and Allison Reinoso of Boynton Beach, FL, Angelica and Cale Bargman of Mechanicville, VA., Marcos Reinoso and Alesandra Reinoso of Bridgeport; greatgrandchildren, Andreas, Jaime, Rachel, and Noah Reinoso of Monroe, CT., Veronica, Leah and Jonathan Reinoso of Boynton Beach, FL and Isabella and Gabriella Reinoso of Wellington, FL. He is also survived by his nephew and spouse, Johnny and Elisa Cuadros of Lima, Peru and his niece and spouse, Sara Neli Cuadros Ramos and Julio Ramos of Brooklyn, NY.
He was a resident of Bridgeport for over 40 years and was loved by many in his community, known as Señor Cirilo and Don Cirilo. He was a wonderful and influential gentleman that was very well respected. He was a great businessman, an advent reader who promoted the importance of reading to his family and community, loved to travel especially back to his country Peru and his dear city, Arequipa. He was a fan of soccer, boxing, swimming, film, and music. He especially loved Argentine Tango, and Peruvian Valses. His love for Tangos and Valses was very apparent as he took any opportunity he was given to sing a song or two and educate those around him about the beauty of the lyrics. He was an esteemed fan of Carlos Gardel, a famous Argentine Tango Artist and would attend Tango shows and events when possible. You would always find him singing several songs at family gatherings and at any gathering or event that folks would ask him to sing. He later loved his time in the Senior Center in Stratford, CT and would sing there to all his friends. He carried that spirit to West River Health Care Center in Milford, CT where you would also find him reading and singing.
The Reinoso family is very grateful for all the care and attention he was given at West River and especially grateful to Rosita and the staff who cared for him daily. He was loved and will be missed by many family members and friends. It is understood that after living such a beautiful and wonderful life, it was now time. The Lord called him home and he will be at peace with the Lord, his wife Angelica and all the angels in Heaven. May he continue to sing in Heaven to the angels and watch over his family.
