Bernie Rein, who, along with his brother Bob, and Bob's wife, Betty, founded Rein's N.Y. Style Deli in Vernon, CT 40 years ago (see the Roadfood.com review), has passed away at the age of 90. The Reins came from a New Jersey deli family, and started Rein's in Connecticut when they realized how much they missed good NYC deli. Bob died in 1988. Bob and Betty's children run the deli today.
