I & my sisters grew up with the Schmitz family. I lost track after high school, but remember our times together fondly. Your dad was one of the good guys.

I am friend and nursing classmate of daughter Susan. My condolences are expressed for all family members. I knew Dr. Schmitz when I was a nursing student and practicing RN at Mercy Hospital. He was so highly regarded in his field of surgery and as a human being. It is wonderful that he lived a long life. Peace to him.

I'll miss you Grandpa. I am so glad and honored that I was able to spend the last 8 years living in Chicago, taking you to lunch and just getting to know you better. I'll never forget the times we had. Get some rest, you deserve it. Zach
