It is with a Heavy Heart that I tell you we lost a Great Man yesterday.

He was without a doubt the Best Father anyone could ever ask for in life. He always had my back and he always will.

He was married to my mother over 52 years and boy oh boy did we love Crappie Fishing as a Family.

The entire family obviously is heartbroken.

We lost him too soon in my opinion. Seems to happen that way with the Good Ones.

I have no details yet and will share when I do.

My Mom has become my priority looking out for her.

He leaves behind his wife, two sisters, a son and daughter, two granddaughters, two grandsons, and four great grandchildren.

A Great Crappie Fishing Legacy for all who have followed our family over the years.

He passed on 02-02-2022 at 2pm surrounded by all his family and he went peacefully.

Must be that Air Force Fighter Pilot precision.

He was a fighter all the way to the end and he left it all on the field.

We could not be any more proud of him.

We Love you Dad and we miss you already. God Bless.

My Condolences "G"

for your family as you grieve your Fathers loss. Tremendous family photo's and I'm sure you'll cherish the times and memories forever. Stay strong for your Mom and Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. But I bet he is fishing somewhere sunny and catching 3lb crappies.

Sad he is not with us here. But I know where he is now and he can't feel any better.
Condolences and spiritual strength and comfort for the family.

When you think of "good men" and patriots, Bruce Schmidt is at the top of the list.

I considered it a privilege when he joined me at Cedar Creek. And that pic of y'all two in the cockpit is still awesome.

Very sorry for you and your family. He was a good man.

Very sorry for your loss. It is tough to loose a parent. My father died in 1974 & I still think of him most every day.

So sorry to hear and I will be praying for ya'll. I always admired how much time you spent with your parents. Great job!

Prayers for you and your family in this time of mourning. He is fishing in heaven and catching crappie and having the time of his life

Rest in Peace to a great man.
Jim and Debbie

so sorry for your loss

Prayers to all. You have a lot of great memories!

So sorry for your loss sir....it's hard to go through....obviously he was a very special dad! Thoughts and prayers for you guys.

Condolences to the family Hogon. He was always a happy camper whenever I saw him whether at our shop picking up toys or on the water. He loved you with all his heart but I don't need to tell you that as you already know, and yes, he still has your back my friend. Take care of your mother and we'll see you on the water...

God needed another fishing buddy! Your Dad's Sprit will be with you always. Will be praying for you and your family, knowing the Lord Jesus Christ has control!
