Eric Peter Schimmel

I was going to write that I still often think fondly and with a smile of my partner in enlightened mayhem from the U of M days... and then I saw that photo of him at the end of the obituary, and knew someone else knew him that way too. Miss you brother Eric... thank you for the ride!

Brother- I hear the laughter and your voice, forever, but overall, the silence is deafening. Missed on your 73rd birthday.

I asked my dad to say hi and give you my love, but I'll say it here while I'm thinking about it. I still think about and miss you. We still talked about you, even if it was just little things reminding us of you. Often very literally things. You loved a gift. Sometimes it was just reminiscing about that nightmarish cockroach swarm. I wish we spent more time together when I was older and could talk to you more. Despite that I still remember your voice better than I think I should? I don't...

My collegial brother Eric, partner in crime, instigator and inspiration, teacher and compadre.... all these years later (2023), and I still got the blues for you. You darned rascal! Thanks for the love you shared.

Eric was literate in so many of the arts, that to this day I miss someone who can get my inside jokes. HIs keen intelligence and sense of humor, and his kind and loving spirit were what brought him close to us. I still miss that mischievous rascal.

Keep soaring the ether, brother...

Happy 70th birthday, big brother, never forgotten!

Happy Birthday Big Brother. Today is your 67th birthday. I say "is" because even though you have been gone 10 years, you have never left me. I can still feel the love and warmth in which you enveloped your family and friends. I can still hear your unmistakable voice,laugh and sardonic
humor. I can still see your long hair,
and the Fabio good lucks, (you always were the best looking one in the family). Yes, you are, and always will be "with me", but oh, how I do miss those 90 minute...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....We shall see you on the other side you rascally varmint you..We loved you and we miss you old friend. You were so fun.... Back in the days when we were young... Dave-Jodi
