My husband Don and I both send our condolences to you and your whole family. We shall certainly miss your Dad while playing bingo or cards. He was a fun person to be around and always had a smile on his face and a smart mouth at the same time. Loved him dearly. Should you ever have time, stop in for a cup on your way past our place.

Emery & Miriam Chaffin Paula Ann Tournade Mary Gehrke Lacometa43@msn.com Dear Family of Glen Schneider, As I read Glen's obituary in the paper, I thought of Barb and how I enjoyed working with her and you, Shay and Stacy, at ARA in the '80s. Although I didn't know Glen, I just wanted to convey my sympathy to your family upon the passing of your father. I planned to come to the visitation but wasn't able to come. May it help to know I care and remember you especially at this time. Sincerely, Mary Gehrke (208-523-2459) Dave & Barbara Kynoch Bodegabarb@cableone.net We are so sad at losing our friend! Glen is a very special person. Dave will certainly miss him. He considers Glen his best friend. He won't be forgotten in our lives, and I'm sure he will be spoken of often, with a smile, in our conversations. Our sympathy goes out to the family, but we know his memory will always remain in your hearts. Rod Horton rodhort@sbcglobal.net I was sorry to learn of the passing of my classmate and good friend, Glen. I always enjoyed his company and good times together even if some of our activities were somewhat mischievious. Please accept my sincere condolences.
