Not sure what to say?

I will sure miss LtCol John Schofield, Jr., USAF, Ret. He was one of the most positive members of our local Virginia Peninsula chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. It always perked me up to see him and Madge at the meetings. I was shocked to see the Tapps entry in the VIPMOAA newsletter and am so sorry to have missed the funeral. I will always treasure the lighthouse brick he gave me a few years ago.

My condolences to Mrs. Schofield and her family on the passing of Mr. Schofield. I have had the privilege of working with their son, David, in Arlington, Virginia, for the last few years. David shared with me many of his memories of his dad and the many contributions he made in defense of our country. I am amazed at not only his many military achievements, but at the impact he has made on his family and society at large. Even though I did not meet Mr. Schofield in person, I have read of...

Madge,
May God bless you and your family. Jack will be missed at our Avonworth Class of '52 reunions.

Our most sincere condolences to Madge and the entire Schofield family.

Madge: We were startled when Frank Capone called us yesterday about Jack's death. We are so sorry and wish you all the best and may God be with you and give you strength as you mourn your loss. We will always remember you folks as great neighbors, and we especially appreciate the farewell party you so graciously gave us. We regret that we didn't make more of an effort to get you and Jack down here to visit in Florida. Please come down if and when you can. We pray for God's blessing for...

The Schofield Family,
May you be comforted by the many warm thoughts and prayers of those who care.

So sorry to hear of your loss. We have enjoyed being your neighbor. May god bless you and the family at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jack was special to everyone who met him. The times our family spent with him were never long—but all are memorable. A gentle man to the core. . . with wit to spare and a sincere interest in every one and every thing around him. It was an honor to be one of the people he called to say goodbye. We are sad at his passing…but will celebrate his life always. The oblituary listed so much we did't know about Jack. Our deep and sincere condolences to Madge who we hope will continue to be a part of...

Jack you will truly be missed. You have brightened so many people's lives. I will cherish the memories I have of you. Working for you was an awesome experience. I will always remember the walks in Gosnold Hope park with the "goldens" Beau and Chessie, along with Susie and her crew. Susie, Madge, and the entire Schofield family our deepest sympathies go to you in this time of need. May you all find comfort and peace through the love of God, family, and the support of friends.
