My sympathy to your family. I know that our dads were best of friends for many years. I recently saw in the newsday the picture of their 50th anniversary celebration. How wonderful! May he rest in peace.

George always had a kind word and a smile when I met him. On Howard's and my First Anniversary George showed up with the top of our wedding cake. George - a good guy! My sympathy to Lorraine and to the family.

Sincere sympathy to all members of the Schmidt family. It was my privilege to be George's friend since we attended La Salle Academy and Manhattan College together since 1949. Sixty years goes by fast. Peace, old friend, until we meet again.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself … any man’s death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
