Adelheid
I share the feelings of many in Princeton who mourn the passing of Schweickhard.

We would love to know a surface address to reach you. If you or someone could kindly send to me at my email address I would be able to share with Pete, Rita and others. It is [email protected].

With love and prayers,
Jeanne Garner (formerly Greer)

Dearest Adelheide, Ruth, Dorle, Hannah, I have been so moved by Schwicks passing. I remember so many many times we had together while the girls were little. Swimming in the pool, taking lessons, going to kindergarten for the first time. You were all a very large and important part of our lives in Princeton. Although we have lived apart for many years now, we have missed your company and Schwick's passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts. I wish we could be with you now - but our love...

I am so sorry to hear of Schwick's death. I did not know him, but I know his wife Adelheid, and have enjoyed many conversations with her. My thoughts are with her and her family at this hard time.

Dear Adelheit and the rest of the family, I was deeply saddened to learn of Schwick's passing. I remember fondly many evenings playing quartets in Haydenville. I also remember well being impressed by his vegetable garden and his caring for it. We received some overflow from the garden sometimes, as we received the benefit of his musicality. I will miss him very much. Love to all.

Our thoughts with you and the family. He was a wonderful man and an inspiration and may his memory be kept alive through all who will share his stories of a life well lived.

143 S. Main St. Florence

We are so sorry to learn of the death of Schwick who, with his wife Adelheid, bought our house in Florence in June this year. He impressed us as a kind and gentle man and we mourn his passing.
