Not sure what to say?

Dr. Schrader delivered all three of my children in 1968, 1972 and 1973. There were problems with my last delivery and he stayed with me even though he was off duty and delivered my son. He was a great, fun loving man who I will always remember. He had the compassion that so many doctors now don't have. My prayers to the family.

Dear Jottie, Ellen, Chip, and Patty,
Your father led quite a fine life, and it is obvious that he was well respected by many! I am so happy that we had the opportunity to visit with him, Jottie, and Ellen this past summer. I know that it was especially meaningful for my mother, his sister. He will be missed, and we share in your sorrow.

Sincerely,
Molly, Bill Miriam and Bob

Frank, my mind is filled with smiles and admiration as I think of you. Whether it was skiing, golf, board meetings, or those beloved unplanned C-sections, you were always positive and gave every ounce toward perfection. It was your nature.

But the one quality that signifies you best was your absolute dedication to your patience, and they loved you, as they knew you were the best.

You will always remain in our thoughts and we thank you for being our friend.

Dr. Shrader was my physician many years ago. He was unable to find my baby's heartbeat during my visit in my 5th month of pregnancy. He was very kind and allowed my husband and myself to ask questions and gave us plenty of time to process the death of my unborn child. I will never forget his kindness. God bless you.

What can I say about Frank. He came into my life about eleven years ago when I moved to Grand Junction. I have so many good memories of him. He most certainly had a gigantic intellect and amazed me with his memory of historical events. He was very helpful in helping me sort out some medical issues of my own. I feel that my life has been enriched by his friendship. My love to Jocelyn and family. Earl Williams

Dear Mrs. Schrader,
I noted Frank's obituary in the Sunday paper with sadness. It sounds like you and Frank had a full life. From my encounters with him, I could tell he was an interesting and talented person. I felt honored to be one of his doctors. Take care of yourself and I hope you can take pleasure in all the things you got to do together.
Sincerely,
Bill Patterson

We will always remember our frequent recent encounters in Northport. Our sympathies to Jocelyn and to his family. Dick and Isabelle Firestone. Northport

Frank came clattering into our lives about twenty years ago. We found him by turns, compassionate and caring, a brilliant and challenging intellect, at times stubborn, always outrageous, a great companion. Hardly someone we will easily forget. We will miss the shared anniversaries with Jocelyn, the sunny afternoons on the golf course and especially the "gifting" of indecently long putts. There are so many things to remember about Frank.We will miss you old friend.
Condolences to Jocelyn...

To the Schrader Family, I think of Doc and all of you often, I will never forget the fabulous ski trips we all took, and Anne eating ribs. My love to each of you, and especially you Eh-Eh. Love Jean Macfarlane
