Read MoreI worked for Schnabel Engineering from 1989 to 2025. During the early days of my career, I met Mr. Schnabel at many company events and while at the Richmond, VA office. The biggest event was at the 50th year celebration of Schnabel. I thoroughly enjoyed working for Schnabel and tried to carry on his namesake with pride, respect and dignity as he did. Rest in peace Mr. Schnabel.

I write with the most sincere condolences. Our families go way back in Sherwood. Your Dad was so kind, so generous, so gentle and loving. I loved meeting up with your parents while walking along Beach Road. They always about my parents and then Mom. And his smile ! Peaceful days as you continue to grieve. Catherine May Gonzalez

I got to meet Jim at his home in Chevy Chase in the mid-1980's, while we worked together with a non-profit entity based in Annapolis MD. He was very welcoming and kind to me. My sincere condolences to the family.
