Paul E. Reinhold • Eldest son of a baker who immigrated from Germany in 1889 to Verona, Pittsburgh • Built Foremost Products into one of the world’s largest dairies after rescuing it from near bankruptcy during the Great Depression • In 1931, his accomplishments caught the attention of J.C. Penney and Penney asked Reinhold to take over a failing dairy company in Florida • This began a relationship that lasted a lifetime and a business enterprise that reached from Foremost headquarters in Jacksonville to nations around the world • Throughout, Reinhold leaned heavily on the story of the lesson of the workmen who were not merely shaping stone for the massive structure before them, but building a cathedral
Paul E. Reinhold Paul Reinhold shaped lives and left an indelible mark on all those who shared in his boundless energy, his love of living, and his appreciation of the simple beauty of God’s creations. His creed was expressed in the story of the cathedral builders.
