Dear Schaefer family,
We were saddened to hear of loosing the loved patriarch of your family. I can't imagine how hard it is loosing a father/husband. I hope you find comfort in these days, with remembering fond memories and in being with your family. George, we were friends in highschool (Regina/Loyola)..I'm so sorry about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Schaefer Family,

I was very saddened to hear about George. He gave me my first real job at Schaefer's and really helped shape me into who I am today. I will never forget his advice, his wisdom, his genorosity and his love for Jimmy Buffett. He was an amazing person.

I work in the Hotel Industry now but I will always remember my time at Schaefer's. God Bless and Take Care.

Dear friends --
I lost my father last year after many years battling cancer, and I am very sorry for your pain. As my family does with our dad, I hope you all will eventually find real comfort in your knowledge of the wonderful legacy George Schaefer created in his lifetime. All over the country, doubtless elsewhere as well, The Schaefer Family will always have "members" who are profoundly grateful for his -- and your -- enormous contributions to our deep appreciation of the monk's...

Cookie and Family -
