James E. Schneider Sr.

Brother Jim baptized my wife and I in the fall of 1995. What a blessing! He is one of the best men I have ever known.

I was casually looking up Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, where Terry and I spent a few years. I was saddened to hear of Brother Jim's passing. The sermon series, I remember the most was entitled "Wisdom from Wisdom Teeth". He had had his wisdom teeth extracted, and was using many sermons to talk about being in the valley with the Lord. Because of brother Jim's warm nature and his wife Louise is warm tender heart as well, the church had a vitality that we needed so badly. Terry and I were...

He was my great grandfather and he was one of the best he shall be missed every single day

A year later, I am reading this. He was paramount in my salvation. They loved me and nurtured me and officiated our wedding 52 years ago. Well done good and faithful servant.

Jim and I kind of grew up together at Southwest Baptist College and OBU. We had several revivals together at little churches. I came out to Groton a couple of times for revival and he came to Oklahoma for a revival. He always preached and I led music and sang. I considered him (and still do) one of my very best friends. In heaven, he can preach and I will be the singer. My love to his family. Don Browning, Arizona

Our sympathies to the Pastor Jim's family. Pastor Jim and Louise Schneider have always been in our thoughts. My husband & I are thankful to have been part of PVBC all those years ago. Pam Overton-Tates & Eddie Tates

So grateful for the life of Brother Jim, not only was he a pillar for his sheep, but was also a pillar of faith for his community. We loved him dearly. He always preached a great sermon, with a great sense of humor. One of my favorites is when he did a sermon involving our bodies and how they´re made up of 90% water. He said he was thinking about different people, but by the time he got to me he couldn´t take the thought! ( those of you who don´t know me, I stand a big 4 feet 11...

I was sorry to hear of Brother Jim´s passing . That was exactly what happened. He passed from his earthly home to his heavenly home. There is so much I could say. Bro Jim was a fellow Missourian and St Louis Cardinals baseball fan. He was a friend and confident. He lived a good long life and I know that this is only a temporary parting . My love and prayers to Louise and her family. So long for now Brother Jim we will be along before you know it.
