    Jimmy Schofield - my first boyfriend! Ah, the summer of 1955 at church camp is still fun memory. Of course high school changed all that - lotsa girls were smitten by that smile. So glad he had a good life and is well remembered. My sympathy to his friends and family.

    The Yonich family sends our sincerest sympathies to the Schofield family. Jim was our next door neighbor up at the lake and it just won't be the same without him. From his yelling over hey neighbor when we would arrive and his legendary pig (less) roasts which were the event of the season come August. Jim would always ask about my Mom and kids and grandkids. He would add Kenna's name on the birthday cake at the pig roast, since her birthday was in August. Always smiling is how I will remember him and calling for Rocky to come home.

    To all who Jim touched and he touched many, remember the good times. He was a beautiful human being, my friend for 73 years. We did everything together from childhood to adulthood. From Biz and myself R.I. P. my friend. A piece of me goes with you.
