Dear Schneider Family,
Just a note today to tell you that I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. So many memories Lyle and I had with your folks. When my daughters called me and told me about your daddy I was so sad. I know my grandaughter Kim Anton is a friend of Chris's daughter and when they knew she was related to us it brought back many many wonderful memories we had with your folks and continuing now with our grandchildren. You will continue to be in my prayers.
Loving in Christ,
Lucy King

Uncle Jack - a man in a class all by himself. He will be missed by so many people, and I will remember him best for the period of 15 years that he gave me grief for running one of his motorbikes into a tree. My condolences to my cousins and his children - I hope we will all remember the laughter and good times he gave to everyone - there are far too many to count.

So Sorry to hear the sad news of Jacks passing. The Blessing is that he made many people laugh, and probably cry, but He knew how to have fun! We enjoyed sharing family time with all of you this past summer and we know how all of you will keep the family together to have fun as well.
May you find peace in his passing, and joy in your memories.
LOL Joe & Nancy
