I miss Great Grandpa S. so much. He always used to take me and my Grandpa fishing. He always was joking around all the time. We will all miss you Great Grandpa.

I want you to know how sorry I am for the loss of Grandpa S. The memories are fond and many, including celebrating July 4th as recent as a couple of years ago with him and all the Schmidt family. The warmth of his laughter and his jolly ways are a couple of my many memories. My thoughts are with you through this time. All my love to you and yours.
