Skip & Scoot-
We are profoundly saddened to hear of your dad's (our Uncle Cito) passing. One thing I will never forget guys,...a few years ago when mother was very ill from cancer, she would do this ever so sweet call-out for Uncle Cito..."Ciiito....Ciiiito". Her mind by that time wasn't all quite there, but all she wanted to see was her brother! And...now she has. I've told this story several times to the family and we all get a little chuckle out of it:-). Guess it's the way I tell it. And we were all so greatful and thankful to see Uncle Cito at mothers service. We will never forget that!
Speaking mainly for myself and possibly the others, I will not be able to attend your dads service, but I want you to know that I am there in spirit as are all of us Schaefer's: Daddy (Louis); Chris & Marla; Keith; Gretchen Maria & kids; Phyllis & Jerry & kids; Paul & Dede & kids; yours truly & Maria (Cuba). The memories of your father and our uncle will be in our hearts and prayers. He will be in our thoughts forever.

John and Clare - please accept our sympathies at this difficult time. Your dad was a wonderful man, and he was always upbeat and charming whenever I would speak with him or see him. I greatly enjoyed our times with the Chicago Bears and with the food and drink at the Village. I will remember him as a kind and decent man who enjoyed the fun and great times we shared. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.
