To all the Schendel family and friends,

I will truly miss the great man and my boss for many, many years Oskar Schendel. He had a gigantic brain and inspired hard work and the aspiration to excellent results from all of his employees and family. I worked closely with Oskar since 1994 and knew him from my previous experience in HVAC engineering. I will always be proud to have served him and to have been trusted by him all those years.

Unser herzlichstes Beileid, Diane , Mike, Simone und Curtis

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"

With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best!

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
