John was such a true friend, when he said something he meant it. His honesty was his strength. We enjoyed many years of friendship and that friendship remains with you Pat. May God bless you in your loss of John and Sis at the same time. Have faith and your friends and family will be here for you. Your friends, Scott Coon and Tom Tomich

Our lives have been enriched having John in our lives. Knowing him for almost 40 years, he was the first person I met at the Cape Coral Fire Dept as a teenager. Like that big brother who was always there for you, he was a steady and constant friend. God bless you Pat, we love you. Tom Tomich and Scott Coon

August 24, 2011

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad when I was young I got to know John . I wish I could of came down there to see you all. Every time mom and dad were their in the winter I spoke on the phone with John. My mom and dad had so much fun, visiting you all. I knew while they were there John took care of them. But you will always be in our hearts. Karen (Bennett) Knuth Vassar, Michigan

Pat, Jane Long (sister) sent John's notice. So sorry to hear of your loss. John was way too young to go yet. That's because he was only four years older than I am and I hope to have many more years. We all thought this was going to happen to the four Schultz siblings and then we lost Steven. I know your heart is broken. There is nothing I can say to you to make that hurt go away. So, I'll just pray for you. Ruth Frayer
