Stan A. Schaeffer

Stan Schaefer was my history teacher and basketball and baseball coach, at Assumption High School in East St. Louis. He was a wonderful person, an excellent teacher and an enthusiastic and supportive coach. As with most lay and religious teachers we had at Assumption, he was a positive influence on his students and players.

Rip Mr Schaeffer...he died rebuilding a city. Forever missed

Stan was my Geography teacher at Assumption High School.
Sorry for your loss.

I wish I had the opportunity to get to know Stan better than I did...but so many peoples wishes remain just that...a wish. I can say that Stan was quite the comedian...he always had me laughing when he stopped in the office, and I'm thankful for that because I'll always remember Stan with a smile on his face. He will truly be missed here at City Hall but his joy and laughter will always be in our hearts.

Liz and family:

It is extremely obvious that Stan has touched so many people during his life. From his days at Assumption, through the Collinsville High School days, and finally as Mayor of Collinsville, one theme runs throughout his life...public servant.

Whether it was as teacher, coach, counselor, or politician, he helped others as few have been able to in their lives.

I learned from Stan that it was never too late to start a new career and never inappropriate to give...

Liz, we grieve with you and your family in your sorrow. Although Stan has died, yet, fortunately, he lives on, in your children and in his students. A teacher, Henry Adams has written, affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

Goodbye, my friend. What a glorious time it was, Stan, those happy days of our youth, when you and I and all our friends were at Assumption.
