Condolences
Just saw Mr. Schatzman’s obituary. Wanted to extend sincere sympathy to family members and especially LaVerne.
She was my Sunday School Teacher years ago as well as in Runyan’s choir together. I remember the times she and her husband did many happy events with our youth group. Will keep you in thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Dear Laverne,
I am so sorry to read of Bill’s death. How blessed you were to have had him for 65 years. Take good care of yourself in the days ahead and know that I am just a phone call away. God bless
My favorite Uncle Shootz,
To the guy that taught me how to drive a boat, properly wash and maintain a car, and be a true friend to others.
May your golf games in heaven with all of your golf buddies (now reunited) be wonderful and your bowling games always be perfect. Enjoy as many Manhattans as you wish bacause Aunt Boom can’t cut you off any time soon. Rest in peace, We’ll miss you Pal.
