James Reinhold Schnirel

Shirley,
We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We appreciated having you as neighbors. If there's anything we can do, please let us know.

Dear Schnirel Family: Know that Jim will be missed and appreciated by more people than you can imagine. Hold his memory sweetly in your hearts and allow the good things to flow to you. Peter and I wish you calm and peace in this time of transition.

Shirley and family,
I will miss my cousin Jim. Be strong together. You are still a family and Jim is all around us.
Love, Bobbie

Dear Ben & Shirley, I hope you are reading these. I was really sorry to hear of your loss. We (Kevin, Monica and Sunni) lost our mother right before Christmas. I know it has been years, but we still think of you often.

Shirley, Ben, Erica and John, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will always value our friendship with your family. Each time I look at one his watercolors we own, I'll always remember the love and respect we have for your family. With our love,
Curtis & Marian Smout

Jim held many titles of authority and importance in his life. No title is greater than that of "Friend". It was my observation that he was kind and considerate of everyone who crossed his path.

His passion for creating beautiful art inspired and will continue to inspire his students and colleagues for years to come.

His paintings that hang in the Utah
Gallery at Nelson Labs will always be a reminder the great artist who will have a soft spot in my heart.

Jim always...

I work at SLCC and had the great opportunity to take several water color painting classes from Jim and knew him personally. What a great teacher and wonderful personality he was. He will be truly missed, but his legacy will live on through his wonderful paintings and his great family.

To the Schnirel family, I wish you comfort and the love from Heaven,where Jim is painting a scene,with all the eye appeal and surroundings for you all to live in one day with him.
I did not personally know Jim, but felt deeply compelled to share my condolances,as I am employed with the college, and an artist as well. What a wonderful discription of a true scholar of life.His success and happiness seems to have been paramount. God bless you, and we all have another special angel watching...

Shirley, we were deeply saddened to read of Jim's death in the Moab paper. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. I know Jim had a big fan club in this area of the state and he will be missed greatly, especially in the artist community. You have our deepest sympathy.
