Frank was one of the older guys in the old neighborhood (St. Margaret's)in the '50s. I paid attention to him because he had the coolest cars. Years later I was invited to play golf at the golf club in House Springs. You couldn't have more fun playing golf with Frank. Then I joined the Thursday lunch club with his St. Margaret buddies. Dining and laughing do not go together. My deepest sympathy to the family...God bless.

When I think back at growing up in South St. Louis in the parish of St. Mary Magdalen I am often reminded of the wonderful members of our community.
Mr. Schembre was one of those parents I will always remember.
When he coached softball he taught more than how to play the game. Through his wonderful personality he formed a sports family. One couldn't help but take pride in having a coach like him. He helped us build confidence andwe all learned what good sportsmanship meant through his example. When I coached my children in sports, I found myself modeling Mr. Schembre because I had the honor of being a recipient of his positivity.
I can still picture him down the third base line giving us signals as we stepped out of the batters box to take that practice swing.
Many youngsters are better people because they knew someone like him.

Shelley and Angie you are in my prayers.

Rest in peace coach!
"Connie" (nickname he gave me b/c at one time we had 4 Julie's on team!)

Mr. Schembre was an amazing man and I was so lucky to have him as a coach and mentor. The important lesson of having fun, teamwork and how to win & lose have been so useful throughout my life. May all the wonderful memories he has given to so many not fade and continue to provide sunshine.
