    Karen, So sorry to hear this. I'm sure he is "up" there with Barry and Dave having a beer. He was a great neighbor and friend. He's at peace now.

    My sincerest and deepest sympathy to the Schiedenhelm family. As a neighbor, growing and becoming friends with Mr. Schiedenhelm's son Troy, I always thought of the similarities between him and my own father. Hard working, embraced strong family values, enjoyed spending time with his kids, teaching the the value of work. I am saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Troy, Jill, Keith and Mrs. Schiedenhelm during this difficult time. -Tony Mattucci
