Not sure what to say?

As has already been said, Fr. Schiller has helped so many people in so many ways via his many professions. I worked at Patrick House when it opened in the 1970s. He hired a number of us baby boomers who were just entering the workforce at that time and in effect helped launch our careers. Patrick House was a very collegial, warm and caring place to work. I will always appreciate the opportunities he gave us.

The Tom and Anne Stanton family are deeply saddened by Fr. Schiller´s passing. Our deep condolences to all Francis´s family. He was a positive force for all. My dad, Thomas Jr. had such great respect and had occasion to call of Francis for help as my brothers and I navigated our teenage years. RIP we will miss you.

In Loving Memory of beloved Reverend Francis E. Schiller, Heartfelt Condolences and loving Prayers. In loving memory of a wonderful Friend who will be loved and missed always. Arsenio and Janice Silvestri

Peaceful Reflections

My family ( Mary Holloway) was helped by the Father Schuller at every life occurence where his input was needed. He always was able to come up with viable solutions facing my family through decades. We have all been touched by his infectious laugh and robust spirit. I take solace in knowing that he accomplished all things through Christ . He will be missed but his spirit lives on in many of those he has touched.

At every turn in the life of my family ( Holloways). Father Schuller had been front and center in helping us through all our life occurences with his always present smile and viable ready solutions. He was a truly representative of the Father. I and my family are blessed to know him

Sending our condolences from the Henne family. He, Fr. Schiller, was a dear friend of our Dad. At his wake, he gave us great comfort with his words. You will be missed, Father, by all the people you helped guide throughout their lives. Rest in Peace.
