Donald J. Schimmoller

Dear Schimmoller Family:

In attempting to find contact information for your family, I found this obituary. I am saddened to learn of your loss. Our family was fortunate to be next-door neighbors to such an amazing man and family. I hope that you all find comfort in many happy memories and the faith. By the way, the article is beautifully written and the photo is a good one. I always remember your dad smiling.
Regards,

my sympathy to Virginia and Family. Don and I had many laughs together. Good man. He loved his tuna sandwiches. we worked together at St. Frances of Rome, Azusa. rip Don.

For many years, I was a regular attendee at the annual men's retreat from St. Philip's at Mater Dolorosa for many years.
Don encouraged me to attend. One of things he said was that it will change the way you look at life & your Catholic faith. He was so right about that. Through the years, I heard that he had grown up in Dayton. My family were also Ohioans from the Toledo area. Had many chats about Ohio.
Don & Virginia knew my in-laws, Frank & Betty Lirette. That, too, was special for...

Dear family,
Saddens me to hear of your lost of your loved one . May the God of All Comfort be with you and your family during this troubling time. (Isaiah 60:20)

Dear Mary and Virginia,

Please know that you are in the prayers and hearts of the members of Christian Life Community.

May your husband-Dad rest in peace in the arms of our loving God.

I knew Don while in high school and he introduced me to my future wife, Patricia, when we were students at the University of Dayton. We have ben close friends over the years and shared our life stories. We can attest that he and Virginia truly were extraordinary Catholics in every sense of the word, raised a faith-filled family and preached that faith through example. They have been an inspiration to us and to many!

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing man. We are praying for comfort for your family. Heaven is truly richer. Love, The Gale Family
