Aunt Daisy, Cousin John & Rik's children - please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of a good friend and better cousin. Our paths did not cross many times during Rik's lifetime, but when they did we had many memorable times. I enjoyed the times spent on the golf course with Rik in Adams, Minnesota. It was always fun trying to beat the Pro!! I too will miss the phone calls from Rik. All Schneider's in Minnesota just lost a good Schneider. Best wishes to Rik's family down south.

All of Rik's Minnesota cousins are saddened by his death. I will miss his Christmas phone calls to us. I enjoyed his crazy stories, friendly smile and handsome Schneider face! He was so proud of his children. Loved his visits to our MN weddings. So sad to know he is gone from us. His family is in my prayers. Love, cousin Linda Schneider Allen
