Mr. Schumann was a sweet man that enjoyed talking with those of us who work at the E. Canton post office. We laughed at his jokes and appreciated his frequent offer to take our flag down at closing time. He will be missed.

We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. He was always one to bring a smile to one's face, a ray of sunshine to your day and an unforgettable sense of humor. We will certainly miss him. May he be at peace. I wish I could be with you on this day, unfortunately, I can not. Uncle Bill will always be in our hearts. Our condolences to the family. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
