Ahhh, Gerhard, I was just talking about you with other Cathcart folks at the class reunion. We were remembering you as Gerhard Sponholzt. Then your name changed to Schmidt. I remember how proud you were when you got a little sister. Gerhard was very smart in school too. He will always be remembered fondly. God grant his family peace, comfort, and joy in his memories, Amen.

My big brother Gerhard, loved his little sisters so much. He was so proud to be our big brother all his life. He leaves me with great memories of growing up and throughout our adult lives. I have told him he was the hardest working and most generous of people, and he was. Above all, he adored his two kids. Gerhard was a great cook, outdoorsman, a friendly person and a very capable person in many ways. He had endless energy, and lived life fully to the end. My dear brother, may you find peace and happiness going forward. Your youngest sister, Eva
