Thomas Paul Schuette

I remember post game parties with Tom and Doug Specht on Monterey Drive in the it's.

The pastors, staff, and congregation members of Grace United Methodist Church of St. Augustine, FL wish to extend their sincere Christian sympathy to the family at this time. Prayers are lifted for all.

I remember Tom from his Rough Rider days when he played for my father. He was a mighty force to be reckoned with on the field, but off the field he was warm, gracious and funny. He´ll be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to the Schuette family.

Tom Schuette was a very special guy - a respected teacher and team-mate, and a good friend. He will be missed. Deepest condolences to Deborah and family.

Tom once took me up in a tandem trainer plane (he flew from the rear seat) and he asked me if I wanted him to do a barrel roll, which I responded in the affirmative. I was just sitting normally (not bracing myself) and when he lifted the nose up (unexpected by me) my can of beer hit the control stick between my legs and he yelled out for me to let go of the flight stick!! Hell, I told him not to panic because he had fifteen hundred feet to gain control! He relaxed when he realized that I had not grabbed the stick. I told him they should build cup holders into trainers.  It was time to land anyway................. I was out of beer! 

It seemed that we were always laughing.  Our senses of humour meshed.

Tom taught at south Carleton high school along with my husband, Doug Collins, as well playing alongside each other! Those were great years when we had 4 of the Ottawa rough riders as teachers and mentors! Deepest condolences to Tom´s family, RIP #56.

I will never forget collecting rent with Tom on a visit to St. Augustine years ago. We jumped into his white Eldorado and drove around questionable neighborhoods collecting weekly rent! Pretty exciting...next visit Tom and I went to dinner Leslie took me aside to tell me Tom's memory wasn't quite what it used to be, we had a few cocktails, dinner left the bar and spent the next two hours trying to find his house! Loved him...Dollar Bill.

Post-game parties on Monterey drive with Tom and Doug Spech. RIP #56.

Mr Schuette was my Gr 9 Health teacher at South Carleton High School in 1971.
He was a real funny and great teacher.
He also had muscles on his muscles.
RIP #56

More great photos I wanted to share of my beloved uncle Tom

O Loving God, through the heavenly intercession of Saint Padre Pio, welcome our beloved Tom Schuette into the company of the Saints, where tears are no more, all suffering and pain are ended and there is great joy, abundant life and peaceful rest in Your loving arms. Amen.
RIP Tom & God Bless !!!! You Will Be Missed My Friend !!!! Reddy

Tom worked right beside my dad for seven years - Shoe-Ette as he called him was always good to us and made us laugh by teasing our dad. Together they formed what they called the wall. In fact the first three french words Tom learned were "Construit un mur" Always remember #56. The wall is together again on that gridiron in the sky!

I always enjoyed Tom's visits with our family in Illinois! He will be greatly missed!
