Hi Dad,
Today is the saddest day ever. You left us on this day, September 11, 2009. I'll never forget. I cry now writing this note to you. You were the best dad ever. You did everything for our family. We lived in the best East Sacramento area near McKinley park. You took us on family picnics practically every weekend. We did summer vacations to Santa Cruz, Disneyland and Kings Beach, Tahoe City. We had the funnest times as kids. It was the best ever.
I miss you so much dad. Wish you and mom were still here at 57 Taylor Way.
I love you dad!!
Your daughter, Angela

Hi Dad,
Today, July 20, 2025, is your birthday. It's suppose to be a happy day since it's your day, but it's sad because you and mom are not here to celebrate. Yesterday I brought you just a few flowers, a balloon, and a card to wish you a Happy Birthday!! Today, Don and I went to church (church had a Coffee Klatch today), and after that went to Trader Joe's to buy you more flowers for your birthday. We brought them over for you and mom. I hope you can see them. It's a mixture with some roses because I know you and mom love roses. Next weekend is Wharf to Wharf and you and mom loved to come down to Santa Cruz to watch me run. I'll be there wishing you and mom were there. I love you dad, and miss you and mom everyday. Wish you were both here still living at 57 Taylor Way.
Love you, your daughter, Angela (Angie)

Hi Dad,
It's me, Angela. A few days ago was Father's Day, June 15, 2025. I wasn't able to bring you flowers on that day, but I did com on June 12th and brought you a Father's Day card and flowers for you and mom. I was in a running race in Tahoe on Father's Day. I still can remember when I had a Father's Day brunch and you asked me if I made fried potatoes. I was so disappointed that I didn't make them and you were disappointed too. I'll never forget that. Dad, I miss you and mom everyday, and I still cry. Oh how I wish you both were at 57 Taylor Way.
I love you Dad, your daughter, Angela (Angie)

Today September 11, 2024 is a sad day. You left us on Sept. 11, 2009. We were recently in Switzerland and the houses with the flower boxes reminded me of when we went to Bavaria and saw the beautiful area of your family. We cherish those memories, and miss you very much. Your loving daughter Victoria and son in law, Charles

Hi Dad,
Today I cry again. 13 years ago you left us and me with a huge whole in my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. You were the best dad ever. Always there for your big family, and taking us on the best Summer vacations to Santa Cruz and later to Kings Beach right near Lake Tahoe. You were the best!!
I miss you so much dad, and love you everyday. Wish you and mom were still at 57 Taylor Way. The best neighborhood ever.

Today is your birthday, July 20, and Moon Day. You're 101 and in heaven. We miss you very much. I always check the tires before driving, a safety ritual that you taught me. I'll never forget it. You taught me to save and now in retirement with savings, I thank you for the important advice. Happy Birthday, Dad!!! From your loving daughter, Victoria

Hi Dad,
I having been missing you and mom so much lately and missing 57 Taylor Way. Oh how I wish we were still kids playing in the pool in the backyard and you would be BBQing hamburgers on the grill. Mom would be fixing potato salad and all the fixin's for the burgers. Oh how I miss those memorable days at 57 Taylor Way. We had so much fun as kids. We had the best family ever.
I miss and love you and mom so much!

To my dad,
Today is a very sad day for me. 12 years ago you left us and today I am still crying. You were the best dad ever. We had so much fun whatever we did. Going to Santa Cruz and sitting on the beach. You would always say, "where are we going to eat for dinner tonight on the Wharf". You were so cute sitting in your beach chair. We also always had great fun going up to Truckee and walking at Donner Lake. I asked you once how to say Pine Tree in German. You said, "Pine Balm". I laughed because it was so close to English.
I miss you dad everyday. When I would drive home to my house, you would always say, "Be careful going around the corner". I miss everyday together.
I love you dad.

To my dad,
Hi dad, today is a very sad day. You left us on September 11, 2009, and I was there by your side. Today I cry because I miss you so much every single day. We had so many fun trips with mom to Waikiki, Santa Cruz and Truckee, and just walking the neighborhood near 57 Taylor Way. Oh, how I wish these days were still here.
Every time I'd ride off on my bike or driving my car back home, you would say, "Be careful going around the corner". I'll never forget.
And years ago, we use to run together around McKinley Park and early morning walks with mom. We also use to sun bath on top of the roof of the house to get ready for our Hawaii trips. Boy were these the days. You gave us a great life dad that I'll cherish forever.
I love you day so much, your daughter Angela "Angie"!!

Hi Dad, just wanted to write you a note because today, June 17, 2018, is Father's Day. I wish you and mom were here to have a Father's Day brunch at my house. I miss you so much. Time does not take away the pain. Every time I go up to the cabin or to Santa Cruz, all I do is think about all the fun times we had there. We'd walk Donner Lake and you told me that to say Pine Tree in German is Pine Balm. It was so funny!!
Well, Happy Father's Day dad. I'll miss and love you forever.

Hi Dad,
A few days ago was your birthday and a sad day for me because you were not here to blow out the candles. Mom and I miss you a ton. Not a day goes by that I don't think about what a great father you were. I was just down in Santa Cruz running the Wharf to Wharf race that you loved so much to watch and then going to Java Junction for a breakfast goodie. I miss those trips so much.
Well dad, I'm always careful going around the corner and locking the back gate.
Happy Birthday dad!!! Mom and I love you. Angela

Today has been a very sad day for me because you left us two years ago today. It's hard to believe it's already been two years. Doesn't feel that long. Seems like we were just going to Santa Cruz for my Wharf to Wharf race. I miss you everyday. And yes, you also told me to be careful going around the corner either in my car or on my bike. I'll never forget.

I love you dad.

To Dad,
It has been two years since you left us and we miss you every day. When I woke up this morning I had a strong feeling of your presence. Then I thought why am I thinking so much of Dad today, and then I remembered, it is September 11, the day of your passing.
I think of you every day because you always said "be careful" and before you drive your car, check the tires, and I do that every time.
These little thoughts are kept with me forever and I am thankful to have had such a great dad.
Love,

To my dad,

I'm missing you more and more and it's now almost one year since you left us. I'll never forget all the times when I was getting ready to drive away from the house, and you would stand outside the screen door and wave and say, "be careful going around the corner", or I'd be going in the backyard to get my bike and you'd come out with me to open the gate and kiss me good-bye. You did this every time I left. I'll never forget these precious times.
And I'll never forget the day I came in the house after being gone for a week on my Honeymoon. You (dad) got up from the couch and said, "Angie", I knew you had missed me. Everyone in the room could see that dad had missed that I was gone. I'll always look up to you dad. You were the best.
I miss you dad.

Your daughter, Angela (Angie)

To my dad,

Three days ago was yours and moms 63rd Anniversary. Mom loves you and misses you every passing day. We hope you are now resting out of any pain. We both missed you this year in Santa Cruz during my Wharf to Wharf race. It just wasn't the same without you.

I'll love you and miss you forever dad.

Your daughter, Angela

Mom and Dad, Robert and Doris

Dear Doris, Linda, Donna, Vicki, Joan and Angela!

The first time I got to know your husband/father Bob was in the year 2000. As the daughter of his cousin 1st grade Resi from Germany (Bob mother and Resi´s father were brothers and sisters) I flew over from Germany to get to know the relatives in California. Bob and you all organized a huge family BBQ at Donna and Felix´s house. It was absolutely overwhelming to meet so many relatives there. Bob injoyed to hear some German words and share some stories about family history and we laughed a lot together. His happiness and laughing always came right from his heart and was refreshing and catching. Bob took me into his house not as a "relative" but as a member of his family. So Bob, thank you for that. You always will be remembered by the "Mittermeier/Csavojez - Family in Germany. Farewell & Servus

To my Dad:
I'll always remember all of our trips to Santa Cruz, playing on your adding machine at your desk when I was a little girl, when you used to make popcorn on a Saturday afternoon, cook breakfast on the patio, when you searched the trash bin for my wedding book, and how happy you were playing with your grandchildren. I have many happy memories. I love you Dad and I miss you.

In the memory of our great loving father I am glad to have shared the wonderful memories of holiday and birthday parties and the fabulous trip to Germany in 1993 where he was so happy to see the beautiful green Bavarian countryside where his mother lived and meet his relatives who are children and grandchildren of his mother's brother. The day at the Oktoberfest in Munich was a day to remember forever, illustrated by the photo of Dad with my husband Charlie and the happiest smiles. Our trips to Hawaii were also such fond memories, riding in a limo to the Marine base where he served, unforgettable. We will cherish all our fond memories forever.
Your loving daughter,
Vicki

I wanted to send another note to my dad. I love you dad, and I hope God will find a place for you in heaven where you will be safe and happy. I wish it wasn't your time to go, but I hope God is watching over you.
Mom and I miss you so much already, but don't worry, I will take care of her.

We love you dad.

My uncle Bob was a good man and will be missed by many. Bob had a way of making us feel good about ourselves and all my brothers looked forward to visiting him and his family. My deep condolences to Doris and my five lovely nieces. Unfortunately I am driving the race rig to Kentucky which prevents me from coming to the funeral.

I have sweet memories of childhood visits to my Uncle Bob and Aunt Doris in Sacramento. Bob was always so warm and glad to see us (which wasn't always the welcome we normally faced when our station wagon pulled up with six little boys!) Another happy memory was when Uncle Bob and Uncle Otto took us fishing on the Sacramento River when my dad was away for a year in Vietnam. The details are remarkably vivid of that day - sitting on the boat dock--several fish breaking our line off, and hearing the Roseville trainyard blowing up in the distance! Bob was so patient and kind to us. I'm so glad I got to see him at the Schmidt Christmas get-together in 2007. Our condolences to Doris and cousins Donna, Linda, Vicki, Joanie and Angela.

Here's a good memory and a funny story about my Uncle Bob:

Uncle Bob came out to my father (Bob's brother) and mother's furniture store in Carmichael in the mid-1980s to pick up furniture he bought from my parents. Well, Uncle Bob arrived in a borrowed truck normally used to deliver fish. He opened up the back door and the smell practically knocked all of us out! We all had the best laugh and my father and I still talk about that funny event. My uncle had a wonderful sense of humor and that was one of the things I looked forward to while visiting the Schmidt House on Taylor Way.

To Aunt Doris, Cousins Donna, Linda, Vicki, Joanie, and Angela:

May Jesus comfort you at this time of your loss. God cares about you and loves you and will bring you peace.

Doris,
Linda, Donna, Vickie, Joan and Angela,

We send our love and sympathy at this time....although this is why we are born to spend eternity with Jesus, it is still so hard to say goodbye. We pray for God to touch each of you with his love and mercy that you may heal quickly -- knowing Bob is reaping his heavenly reward.

Ed (brother/uncle
Pat (sister-in-law/aunt

Vicki: I am so sorry to hear about your father. I have been thinking of you often as I have been passing Taylor Way many times this past month. Since I haven't heard from you in a while I didn't know if I had your current address to send a card but please accept my deepest sympathies to you, your sisters and mom.

To the Schmidt girls including Mom (Aunt Doris),

We offer our condolences for the loss of our cool uncle, your dad.
Bob was my favorite. He was always so hospitable and made us feel so welcome. He'd always have an extra Budweiser in the refrigerator outside and a good supply of salami and crackers ready for his guest. Those are fond memories.

We'll miss him,

John Schmidt & family
