Donald J. Schneider

Don was an exceptional entrepreneur, who built a legacy of competency, ethics, and innovation. His contributions changed the trucking industry, and will remembered as a dynamic leader who provided vision, inspiration and dynamic leadership.

Growing up, I remember that Don was always quietly thoughtful in his expressions and demeanor. His mother, Agnes, was my aunt, a sister to my mother, Gertrude, and the family would visit us on the farm a couple times a year. (Especially during Pheasant season, now that I recall.) He was five years my senior, so it was normal that I would pay attention to him. I'm sure that trait in him led to my often used comment on any important matter..."Let me think about that".

Dear Pat and family,

Don was always a gentleman in every way during my encounters with him at the office and when I would see him at a race. His passing is a loss for all of us and I will always remember him as a gentle leader who always showed his kindness to others.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,

David Bertler MD

Don:
You were a great leader to myself and to the community of Green Bay. I learned much from you during my employment at Schneider Communications. Thank you my friend and God rest your beloved soul!

Did not know Don directly but knew him indirectly through his contacts with our common college, SNC, and his Big Orange presence on the highway. I suggest honoring him through a roving SNC vehicle, a Big Orange RV, visiting alum cities and reconnecting alums.

Don and Pat were good neighbors to my parents and good friends to Carol and me during our sons' high school years.
Our thougts and prayers are with the Schneider family.

Pat, Mary & Mark & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Don's passing and wish you peace and comfort during this time. Mike & Lori (McAllister) Flanagan
