Mrs. Schoembs,
I am so sorry about the loss of Mr. Schoembs. I have so many fond memories of him and your family when I was a child and his warmth and kindness (as was yours) has always been a treasure to me. I don't think a girl could ever have better godparents than the two of you and, being a godmother myself now, I take comfort in the fact that I had such great examples to follow. We are keeping you, John, and Katherine in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm a close friend of Mr. Schoembs' daughter Katherine, and while she and I did not grow up together and so I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Art personally, I feel like I knew him through his daughter's stories. He was a loving father, the kind who would make sure his daughter had a good emergency kit in her car, and who loved to play with his grandson. He was obviously well liked and respected by the community, judging by the number of mourners at his service. And he was part of the foundation of a strong and loving family, whom I hope will be comforted by the many memories of good times, family and friends who knew and loved Art well. My prayers go out to you in this difficult time of loss.

Dear Arfie,
Thank you for bringing laughter and so many bright spots to my childhood. I have so many fond memories of going over to your house after school as well as spending the night when I was little. When I went to your house, I always knew that I would be fed well (thanks, Patricia!) and would have a wide selection of ice cream from which to choose for dessert. It was pretty much guaranteed that you would poke fun at the amount of cream that I could fit into a coffee mug, but that was part of the fun. You would often take Katherine and I on a trip to Walgreen's to pick out candy or a small toy for the nightwe usually chose Nerds or Sweettarts. I loved visiting your room with Katherine, playing with the label maker and looking at your cars, pens, and other things that you held dear. I knew if I asked, I could walk away with a pen or two to take home. Six or seven years ago now, I dropped by your house with Katherine on the way somewhere. You were tinkering in the garage, wearing a hat with a headlamp attached to the bill. I told you how much my boyfriend, now husband, would enjoy that. You answered back with Well, Kate, it's your boyfriend's lucky day! You promptly produced another one, new in the package, to take home with me. My husband still has that headlamp. You always had such a kind, generous heart, and you made things fun for us as kids. One time, you paid Katherine and I to do some chores around the house. Of course, there was a math puzzle involved for us as you had us figure out how much we should be paid. You and I also had a few inside jokes. I don't think I'll ever think about you without hearing in your voice, Kate, when you see me coming up the hill, are you glad to see me? Or do you wish I'd just roooooll back down again? Arfie, I was always glad to see you. I know that you're enjoying the finest toy cars that Heaven has to offer. Much love to Katherine, Patricia, John, Jason, Louis, and the rest of the family during this difficult time. You are all in my heart.

I will never forget meeting Mr. Schoembs and speaking to him at length. He loved cars, and once gave me a keychain of the brand of car I drove. He was a very special person, and influenced my beautiful friend Katherine to be the person she is today. Peace be to Patricia and brother John.

Remembering Art
Art Schoembs passed on March 25, 2015 and he will be greatly missed. Although we did not know him as well as We would have liked, we knew him through the love of his family that reached far beyond any scope Art could have imagined. The love and dedication of his wife Patricia, held the family together for 45 years of marriage. His son John, a wonderful young man who was there for his Dad and loved him dearly, we always enjoy seeing John. Katherine, his loving daughter who we saw Art walk down the aisle to marry our son, and danced that one last dance that meant so much to her. Louis our most precious ground-son who loved visiting "his" Arfy's room with the all the beautiful lights, cars and all kinds of gadgety things to look at and try to sneak home. Art was a husband, father, son and a man who loved God. He is at peace and with that peace he is now whole and we are grateful.
Thank you Art for touching our lives.

Our condolences to Pat and family. Art and I really had some great times together, at the Christian Brothers University Mechanical Engineering Lab. We spent three summers together, working in the Lab, to pay our CBU tuition. What fond memories ! Art, do you remember the " Tar Balls?" The " Pinch Bar?" The " Lunch Swap?" The model train wrecks ? Mr. Norman Sloat, our boss? Save me a spot in heaven, with you ! We have more fun days ahead !
