The Schudas were our next door neighbors and our second family growing up. Paul & I went through elementary & hi school together. He, Laurie & his family were helpful & generous when our son transitioned to government service. To his family: our prayers that you will be comforted by memories of a truly good person.

Dear Schuda Family:
I was shocked and saddened to learn of your loss. Paul was a thoughtful, caring and steadfast friend through high school and college. He was a friend who would truly give you the shirt off his back, if you needed it. His friendship never wavered. The world has lost a brilliant, compassionate and respected man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
