    Judy & Joe; So sorry to hear about your loss. My parents (Joe & Alicia) spoke often of their relationship with the Schmit’s and what a wonderful family you were. If there is anything we can do, please feel free to reach out.

    My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Schmit family. Jack & Judy have been a staple of my life since high school. I cherished the times at the cabin sitting at the table shooting the s@#* with the two of you. The stories were priceless and the memories will last a life time. Jack was a great man and will be dearly missed at the lake. May he rest in eternal peace!
