Dr. Schneider was my favorite teacher at JCU. I was a Math major back in 1967 - 1971 and during that time I had Leo for 7 of the 13 courses I took at JCU. He provided the exposure to Fortran programming that formed the basis for my first job out of college and my career for the past 40 years. He created special summer courses for me to take while off-campus so that I could accelerate my course completion and marry my high school sweetheart, Cecilia, in 1970, prior to my senior year. Leo came to our wedding in Youngstown, Ohio and helped during my last year at JCU while I was working full-time. I joined Pi Mu Epsilon because of Leo. I stayed with Mathematics for my undergraduate degree and went on for an MS in Mathematics because he gave "life" to the subject and meaning to the art. He relished in solving problems. His "QED" was unmistakably Leo. In my entire life I have never met anyone as excited over a subject they teach and so adept at making learning fun. I reconnected with him last summer after 35 years of not communicating. I am so glad I did. I am sure that his mind is marveling today at the solutions that God and heaven have provided him. We will miss him. Jim and Cecilia Venglarik
