EDWARD SCHNEIDER Obituary
Three things were important to Edward W. Schneider - his family, his church and the family business. He passed away on January 31, 2019, at age 90 surrounded by his family. Ed worked for most of his life at the family's business, Schneider's Dairy, retiring as Vice President of Sales. He served his country in the Korean War, participating in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill, and was honorably discharged as a Corporal in the Infantry of the United States Army. The war made a lasting impression on him and deepened his faith. He was an active member of St. Gabriel's of the Sorrowful Virgin Church, lifetime member of the VFW and member of VFW Post 1810. He enjoyed bowling and golf, watching Pittsburgh sports, and spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Frances; his children, Ann (Phil) Smith, Edward (Diane) Schneider, Jr., Jane Callahan, Nancy (Jeff) Hunt, David (Bonnie) Schneider and Laura Saffer; 14 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren; as well as his sister, Catherine (Jack) Murphy; brother, Kenneth Schneider; and sisters-in-law, Valeta Schneider and Catherine Schneider. He was predeceased by his parents, Edward C. and Catherine Schneider; brothers, William Schneider and Paul Schneider; sister-in-law, Earleen Schneider; and son-in-law, Kenneth Saffer. Special appreciation and thanks for the care provided by the staff at Artis Senior Memory Care and Advanced Personal Care. Friends will be received at the JOHN F. SLATER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Saturday and Sunday, February 2 and 3, 2019, from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Monday morning at 9:15.

Sending my condolences for your loss. I was glad I got to know Edward. I enjoyed listening to his milk delivery stories. We realized he delivered milk to my home as ad child. Hugs to Fran and your family.

I worked out at the Jefferson Wellness Center with Ed. My wife had a terminal illness and passed away 2-1/2 years ago so I quit going and lost touch with him. He never seemed too happy to be there and my wife was determined to make him smile. One day someone was selling apple turnovers for a Church fundraiser and Ed was very upset that he didn't know about it. So my wife said "here Ed, you take mine." Big smile from Ed. She won him over that day. Always remember him as a Wellness Center friend. Prayers to the family.
