It is with great regret and
sorrow that we forward the message concerning the death of our former classmate,
Al Schneider, on Wednesday, January 14, 2009, in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
They were to replace his
badly worn aortic valve and do a single bypass around the aortic stenosis.
Complications and a second run on the heart-lung machine were just too much for
his heart to take.
Al
would have been so touched by the memorial service in a packed church of
relatives and friends, complete with the military recognition service led by one
of his golfing buddies who happens to be Chaplain of the local American Legion
post. His cremains have been divided, half to the church columbarium (with Army
insignia) and half into the Kings River later in the spring....perhaps during
the white bass run.
He is survived by his wife,
Carol Ann; a son, Allen Jr. of Kansas City, MO; daughters, Margaret Anne
Schneider of Belton, MO and Katie Stinnett of Branson, MO; three grandchildren,
Laura Schneider of Kansas City, MO, and Trevor and Caitlin Knoblauch of Branson,
MO; three brothers, David L. Schneider of Hemet, CA, Michael Edwards of
Independence, MO, Marc Edwards of Largo, FL; a sister, Margaret Steward of
LaMonte, MO; and his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Huston of Holiday Island, AR.
A Celebration of Life service was held 11:00 A.M.
Saturday, January 17, 2009 at Holiday Island Presbyterian Church. Condolences
may be sent to Carol Ann at 121 Stateline Drive, Eureka Springs, AR 72631. The
family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Holiday Island
Presbyterian Church Building Fund, 111 Valley Drive, Holiday Island, AR 72631.
Well done, Al. Be thou at
peace.
