Stephen E. Schnell

Today a conversation on a social media page made me think of 'Mr Schnell' who was my English teacher in 8th grade, so I decided to Google, and landed here. I realise it's late, but I want to say he's one of the best teachers I ever had. I'm 54 years old and still remember how he didn't just teach English, he taught us to THINK. He encouraged creativity and individually. He's a part of making me who I am today, and I wish I'd been wise enough to thank him at the time.

Steve was a man of many talents. A magician, faithful friend, great travel companion, excellent teacher & had a vast knowledge of all areas & once tried out for Jeopardy. An expert on any casino info you would need & once guided me in gambling on a visit & I consider the trip to be rewarding. He once got a sit down dinner for me, Terry & her Mom from Florida @ one of the 4 star casino restaurants. He & I were #1 & #2 with trips to Washington, DC & Massachusetts. Steve & his " ties " & his...

I had Mr. Schnell in 9th grade and again in 12th grade. Over 25 years later, I warmly remember him as my favorite high school teacher. Thank you, Mr. Schnell, for touching lives like you did.

Steve was a mentor and friend. During my early years in Cherry I taught with Steve, he later became the resident magician at my summer camp and all the kids loved him.

So long Steve you made an impression that will last a lifetime!
