Mike & Family,
I too was a Woodshop and Mechanical Drawing student. He was a no nonsense teacher, which was the way it had to be using machinery. He inspired me to a life long love of woodworking. Thank you Mike for bringing your Dad to our reunion. I got all inspired again. So sorry for your loss.

Dear Tess and family, This is my second attempt as I was interrupted last nite and my almost finished message was lost!!
The service today was a real tribute to Cliff and Jerry, Mike and Ann did a terrific job in their tributes to their dad....I am sure he was very proud of them!!
I learned a lot about Cliff that I didn't know in the wonderful obituary. He was a close buddy of my dad and I'm sure that they have had a wonderful reunion above, and that Curt was right in there with them! Cliff was always their for my mom after my dad passed in 1971.....so appreciated by her and all us kids.
What true friends Cliff and Tess have been through the years.....,such special people. They are one-of-a-kind and he will truly be missed. But those great memories live on forever!

Tess, Bob and I were neighbors across from you in Mariner Village. You both were so loving and helpful to all of us, and when you moved, it was hard to get used to seeing your house but not you or Cliff. We send you, your daughter and sons, our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of Cliff. What an amazing man!

Cliff's moment's-notice kindness, the coffee always ready, that was the starting line for how the rest of every visit would progress. Kurt would drag me and others to the door, jackets dripping, shoes sullied (we were sheepish and not really presentable)(Charlton Durant maybe the most egregious case) but Cliff Schmierer would simply laugh and beckon us in. This was not an isolated welcome but something that played out many times. Tess, my heartfelt condolences! You too would laugh and beckon us in. That is how it played out.

I first met Mr. Schmierer when I took his Woodworking class at Evergreen Jr High School in 1959. He was the greatest woodworking instructor I ever met. I have often thought about him and what I learned from him while I am out in my shop building or repairing some piece of furniture. Do you guys remember the whistle he kept around his neck when it was time to stop making sawdust and clean up the classroom.
My prayer are with all of his family at this loss. He was a wonderful man, and mentor for all of us. God Bless !

Dear Tess and Family
We are so sad to learn of Cliff's passing. . . what a wonderful man and friend. We are thinking of you all and sending our love. He was the real deal of men. We imagine he and Kurt are probably reminiscing and have a lovely time together right now. But - oh we miss them so. Dave, Barbara and Jessica Hose

Mr. Schmierer was the quintessential shop teacher. I took his class at Evergreen every opportunity I could and learned a lot of skills that I take for granted today. It probably drove him crazy that all we made were skateboards! I remember his green shop apron and constant preaching of shop safety. It's too bad that so many of these programs have been cut from today's schools and kids miss the opportunity to learn from men of character, like Mr. Schmierer.
