Mr. Schermer gave the Mazzoni family such wise guidance for so many years. We truly appreciated him. I remember my first "meeting" with him when I was 18 or 21 and I was fascinated that he had a refrigerator in his office. But over the years, I learned how truly wise he was. I am sorry for your loss but may the many memories sustain you.

Leonard "Bud" Schermer was a wise counselor, and, with his late wife Thelma, a steadfast friend for over 50 years to the Reese family. (Thomas Jr., Eleanor, Judith & Richard.) We will miss his fascinating company, but treasure our wonderful memories of them both.
