Read MoreI was so sorry to hear about John, he enjoyed stopping by my shop, Flint Alternator, just to see what was going on or show me his cars. He will be missed by many as a true car buff and friend. He stopped in a few days before to see what was causing his car to miss, said he would bring it in after a little trip...I will be looking for him always...he dropped off some old parts books..thanks John

Pam, Olivia & Dionna:
I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your dad and Grandpa. Even though I had not met him, I felt an connection to him as I attended many football games in The Big House with my dad. Recently, I attended a game at U of M stadium, with Pam's help. It was Olivia's senior year. A close friend, also a senior in the Marching Band, was on the field too. A great game with proud parents/grandparents in the stands!
May you always cherish the...

My thoughts and prayers to the Schoenfield family. John and I became friends over 40 years ago when we shared the hobbies of camping and dirt bike riding.

We have been neighbors of John's for over 20 years. We enjoyed being neighbors and my boys took quite a liking to your dad. They just see him the last snow storm when they shoveled his drive. He will be missed. If you need anything let us know as we are right across the street. Prayers during this difficult time.
