Not sure what to say?

I remember Mr. Schnitzer as a truly nice man, always warm and friendly, always helpful to me personally and to my brothers and sister. Both my Father and Mother only ever had good things to say about Harold and Arlene Schnitzer and they will be remembered with respect and warm regards for them and their family.

Sad to belatedly learn of the passing of Harold Schnitzel. A contemporary of my father, Aaron Kobel and an acquaintance of mine. Conversation over orange juice and dry toast at the OAC won't be forgotten

My father, Bill Wehrly, worked for Mr. Schnitzer for many years. He admired and respected both Harold and Arlene, and conveyed that to his children. My father would have wanted to express his respects and condolences had he lived into this century.

Our sincerest sympathies to the family. Would like to have known this fine gentleman. Although we are not related, we are proud to bear the name of Schnitzer (New Jersey)
Sincerely,
Esther&Marty Schnitzer...Bayonne NJ

Harold and his four brothers were all successful businessmen. Not many famlies can make that claim.

I will never forget his gracious and kind gesturs, and for knowing such an individual in my lifrtime, in that I am proud and geateful. He will be missed by all.
