Harold was a brilliant person and teacher. It was so uplifting to experience his presence on the golf course. I am having a Mass offered for Harold at Jesuit Hall, St. Louis Univ. (the old Melbourne - on the northwest corner of Grand and Delmar). We'll meet at the door of Jesuit Hall at 8:45AM, Tues, Feb 22. Parking on the street or at Grand and Laclede.

Dr. Schreiber was one of the best men for making my day when he came to the Club. His smile and kind words will be forever remembered. He was always thinking of others, you will be missed.

Dr. Schreiber had been my peridontis for all my adult life. My father and mother were also patients of his and my father actually went to him when he was at Wash U.I actually still saw him as a doctor up until last year.I had told him when I saw him at a restaurant a few years ago that I wouldn't go to anyone else and he told me to come to him. He still took a few patients and I was one of them he still saw.He was a wonderful man and we always talked about our golf games. My sympathy to his family.

Dr. Schreiber was one of the nicest men I ever met!! Was so kind to my 4 children that "grew up" at Forest Hills. And just a delight to be around and play golf with. He will be missed by all that knew him.

An absolutely amazing man and true professional. His mind, his physical conditon, his dress, his deportment, his concern for others all reflected a self-discipline that reflected his appreciation of life and those around him. He will be missed by all ofhis former students at Washington University and Saint Louis Universtiy, by the staff people to whom he was always most courteous, to his colleagues whom though example he lead, and most of all by his patients who benefitted from his constant attention to detail, advancements in the science of periodontology and his loving concern for them.
