Henry Joseph Schmitt Jr.

Dr. Schmitt was my surgeon for many years. I owe him my life for saving me so many times with countless obstructions. He was the nicest most caring and professional Dr I have ever known. He always had a way of cheering me up and making my tears go away. And I will forever be grateful and will miss him more then words can say. He was the best of best.

Was so sad to see of his passing. He was the best surgeon I ever have known. He preformed many surgeries on me and saved my life many times. He was always so happy. He will truly be missed.

I will miss him. I arrived in Colorado Springs in 1981 and he was one of my mentors in surgery. We spent many hours in the OR and in Alaska fishing. Hank loved the "buts"--halibut as well as salmon. I was able to share time and a lot of liquid refreshments with his brothers in their room. I will miss him but was honored to have known him.

So sorry for the family´s loss - he was a tremendous physician / surgeon and human being. John 11: 23-27

I offer my sincerest and heartfelt sympathies on Hanks passing. I will always fondly remember being scheduled to work with him and beg him to say, "get off my lawn," often better than Clint Eastwood! He will be missed
