Dear Sue, Carla, Rita: I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Schneider’s passing. He was an integral part of my experience at John Carroll in the 70s when I was majoring in math and he was head of the Math Department. Dr. Schneider was an excellent teacher and mentor, and above all, a good friend. I recall vividly his kindness and generosity in such ways as hosting students for dinner at your Weston Road house, sharing fresh produce from your garden, giving me a ride to & from Cohoes, NY to help with my Thanksgiving travel plans, and transporting us to and from out of state math conferences. Dr. Schneider was truly a great man, inside and outside of the classroom, and will be sorely missed.
