Mr. Schoenberger inspired my love of science and teaching, beginning in my elementary school years. His passion for sports and competition informed some of my most longstanding life lessons.
What a wonderful role model for those of us fortunate enough to grow up in Tuxedo.
God bless you, Coach and Teacher.

Hi Joyce. Michelle & I were so very sorry to hear of John's passing. We always enjoyed seeing you both, talking with you @ SPORTSPLEX. We're glad we had the pleasure of knowing him, if only briefly. A donation to the VFW was made in John's name. Please take care, Joyce.
Regards,

Mrs. Schoenberger & Family - I was a student at Tuxedo in the mid-'60's and got to know Mr. Schoenberger through sports. He was kind and generous with his time and attention and spoke to students as if they were peers, not underlings. I hope you can take solace in knowing how many of his students held him in such high regard.

So very sorry to read this. Coach Scoenberger seemed timeless to me. All those years ago and I remember his encouragement as a teacher and coach - even though as a girl I was never on his teams. My sympathies to all. I've loved sports ever since. Thank you for sharing Coach with us. Sending thoughts and prayers.

John and Joyce were a big presence both before and early into our marriage. They welcomed us into their home and were such fun. Their devotion to one another was so endearing and their pride in their wonderful children was heart rending. My sympathies to Joyce and the entire family.

I was about seven when I met John, who was my sister's (Maiken) boyfriend's (John Naylor) best friend. We became good friends when I started teaching grades 4 - 6 with him at Tuxedo. We carpooled from Newburgh and were the two coaches at Tuxedo.
We showcased our athletic abilities during a faculty/seniors basketball game when we combined for 49 points. John scored 48.
The highlight of our friendship occurred when John introduced me to my future (and still) wife, Hazel. It was a true blind date, since neither of us was aware the other would be at the fondue dinner Joyce prepared. We were married six months later.
John was as good a guy as you can find. I will miss him; may he rest in peace.

I was about seven when i met John, who was a sophomore in high school. We became good friends when I joined him teaching 4 - 6 graders at Tuxedo. We commuted together from Newburgh and were the two coaches at Tuxedo. We showcased our athletic abilities in a faculty/seniors basketball game when we combined for 49 points. John scored 48.
Introducing me to my future and present wife, Hazel, was the highlight of our friendship. He was as good a guy as any I ever met. Rest in peace, John

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

We are deeply saddened to learn of John's passing. His influence on my life was beyond measure as he introduced me to my husband, Hans Siebert on October 10th, 1972. I enjoyed team teaching intermediate grades with John at Tuxedo Elementary School. His quick wit and skillful use of puns always kept life upbeat and engaging.
Hans and I recently celebrated our 46th wedding Anniversary. We often reflect on that wonderful first meeting at John and Joyce's home surrounded by their four fabulous young children and dining on Joyce's elegant fondue feast.
The warm memories abound and the gratitude for his valuable friendship will live forever.
Hans and I send our sincerest sympathies to Dear Joyce, Mary Ann, Susan, Nancy, Johnny, Fred, Nora, and all of the Grandkids and nieces and nephews.
Love to All,
Hazel Siebert
