But through the years, Reiner's work behind the camera as a filmmaker touched generation after generation, traversing and exploring the human condition. As my colleague Adam Chitwood put so poignantly in his "Reel to Real" newsletter this morning, "while navigating several different genres, each of his films has one thing in common: a big beating heart."

Stephen King, author of “Misery” and the novella “The Body,” of which “Stand by Me” was an adaptation, remembered Reiner as both a friend and colleague. “I’m horrified and saddened by the death of Rob Reiner and Michele,” King wrote. “Wonderful friend, political ally and brilliant filmmaker (including two of mine). Rest in peace, Rob. You always stood by me.” In one of his last interviews before his death in 2020 at 98, Reiner's father, the legendary actor, author and comedian, Carl Reiner, said: "The only thing that really matters in life is your progeny, the people who come after you, the people you send out to the world.

But ... since she’s left, these three kids have become icons.” May Rob Reiner's memory be a blessing for us all. Tom Lowry
