I can't even count the ways Dr. Schneider helped me during my time at JCU. But I especially remember the trips to MAA conferences. Dr. Schneider always encouraged me to present. Sometimes I went with the group (I'm the brown one in the picture) but other times it was just me with Dr and Mrs. Schneider. I always had such a good time. The first time I was scheduled to present, I was a little nervous but he knew that I would do well even before I did. There are no words to thank someone for giving you that. During one of my earliest talks, someone asked a question and even though was nervous I attempted to demonstrate the answer on the fly. I almost goofed but with a slight shake of his head Dr. Schneider corrected me before I totally embarrassed myself. Afterwards he bestowed the best advice ever to be given to math presenter "Never Algebratize in Public". The JCU family has lost an irreplaceable professor and I feel like I've lost a member of my family. My condolences to his Mrs. Schneider and his daughters.
