Not sure what to say?

Val and family; We are so sorry for the loss of a great guy. Bill was the backbone of the SnoJet group back in the day; he and his family so enjoyed snowmobiling and the sport brought him so much joy. Husband, father, friend, farmer are just few of the adjectives that come to mind. He will be missed!!

We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Schmidt's passing. He represented everything great in a dad and a man of his community.

We all remember him with great fondness from across the many miles we all are from Bay City.
I have an eventful memory that will always stick with me involving Mr. Schmidt. JW, Randy, my brother Kim and myself we're all out spearing pike in the flats by...
