Freddie J. Schmidt

I will miss you dad. Days on the golf course, favorite eating spots even watching football games will not be the same anymore. I will always cherish out years together. I could not have asked for a better role model to learn from.

MY dad introduced me to Fred when I started my career at Lilly. Fred was a fine gentleman who always had a smile for everyone. I had the privilege of going to Canada with Fred to do an audit for a a couple of weeks. Wonderful memories!

Fred and I worked together at Lilly. We spent a fun-filled two weeks together at the Kinsale Ireland Lilly plant; on the weekend we rented a car and drove all over southern Ireland looking for Ronald Reagan's ancestral birthplace (a place called Ballyporeen). We finally found it after hopping across a few Irish pubs asking for directions. He was great to travel with! I remember Fred as a kind and gentle man, and I pray that his soul rests in eternal peace with God.
