I had the honor to meet "Pops" on two occasions when he and Bernie were visiting with Maureen and family.

Any man who bestowed his values on Maureen, who on so many an occasion was there to support with love and friendship this neighbor, who in turn passed on those values to Ashley, Burke, and Molly, can be none other than "a good man".

The world is a better place for Bill Schaeffler having come its way; may he rest in peace.
