Not sure what to say?

Dr. Schemm was a very special person to us. He was our son's surgeon from 1976 until he left Great Falls in 1990. He was also a wonderful friend. We will miss visiting with him when he and Janet came to the cabin. Thank you George for all that you did for our family. You will always be remembered with gratitude and respect. RIP!

As I was a hospital chaplain, I met him in hard times. I found Dr. Schemm to be a fine, gentle, considerate, and humble man--qualities I found too rarely in those with whom I interacted. I thank God for giving us such a physician/healer.

Dr. Schemm performed neck surgery on me when I was a 15. He told me that he tried to cut off as little of my hair as possible - somehow knowing that I was a very vain teenager. For many nights of the two weeks I was in the hospital, his modest car was in the parking lot very late. I have benefitted from his gifts and dedication. I understand that he was very much a family man and am also thankful to what must have been a supportive family.

Thank you Dr. Schemm for my mothers additional 28 years that your skill and dedication gave our family.

I had the opportunity to work with Dr SCHEMM in Great Falls. He was one of the hardest working and dedicated physicians I have encountered in my 35 years of practice. He was a physician's physician.
