Carl Schnee

Humble. Beloved people generally are. Carl’s love and interest in others always preceded him and fueled his career to excellence. We learned more about him in this obituary than he ever let us know. Others knew, and awarded him literally and with what seems to be unanimous Love, respect and trust. Especially from his own family.
Inspirational even during years of sickness, Carl endured physical traumas and challenges without complaint and even humor and good cheer for all around him....

On behalf of all the students who attended Carl's marvelous classes at Osher Life Long Institute at the University of Delaware, I would like to say we will all miss seeing him. He was an intelligent man who loved to share his knowledge with his students and it was a pleasure to watch him enjoy himself in front of his class.

It is an honor to be part of the Schnee extended family and to have Carl forever in our hearts. We wish peace and beautiful memories to Doris, Paul, Linda, Michael Agatha, Eden, Max and Judy.

I'm so sad to hear about Carl. I got to know him and worked with him during his 2002 campaign for Attorney General, and he was a generous mentor as I attended law school and became a member of the Delaware Bar. I was also fortunate to enjoy a Colorado hike with him one summer while we were both in the Breck area at the same time. A true class act who will be greatly missed. My sympathies to Doris and family.

Carl was a great lawyer with whom I had several trials when I was a young Deputy Attorney General. Also ran and rode many miles with Carl who was the founder of the “ Biking Blue Hens “ bike club. Have fond memories of Carl at Ragbrai the annual 500 mile bike ride across Iowa that I did 13 times ! He always enjoyed himself and spread that joy to all around him. R.I.P. my friend ❤♂

Carl was a unique and wonderful human being ! A fine athlete who helped get me into a lifelong exercise regimen , a tremendous trial lawyer who turned what could have been a long messy trial into a one day victory and most importantly, a great friend who ALWAYS brightened my days with his warm smile.

Saddened to learn that Carl had passed away. He was a co-worker at the Public Defenders' Office as well as one of my Professors. Sympathy and Prayers to his Family.

My wife Sandi and I send our "Prayers for the Peace that Passeth Understanding" on the passing of this wonderful man Carl Schnee.

I came to know Carl through the Community, Politics and Business together, and later we were fellow Rotarians, when Carl joined the Rotary Club of Wilmington. He was a fine individual, really a mensch, with great instincts and a provocative sense of humor. I still retain this mental image from some kind of Delaware Art Museum fund-raiser of 20, or more,...

A great guy and tremendous raconteur. I found out he wrestled at Muhlenberg, so we would talk wrestling almost every time I saw him.
