To The Entire Scheidt Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Bob. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I will always remember Bob as a kind and loving man. So soft spoken, yet such a great sense of humor! It is important to remember that while you are saying your good-byes, he is saying a joyous hello to his maker. We will see you all soon.

So sorry to learn about Bob. We lost our Dan a few months ago and he had so much fun playing with your boys at St. Pats. Prayers for your family.

Deat Tom and Jim,
Heard of the passing of your father and I send you my thoughts and best wishes. I saw your Dad at my Mother's and Brother's services last year and reflected on the wonderful times we shared living behind St. Pat's. Our Dad's shared more than just the same first name as both of them attended so many of our baseball, football and basketball games. They were quiet fixtures in the stands, proud of our achievements always expecting us to do our best. Good memories of good men.
