Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Mr. Schroth was a great neighbor. Mr Schroth or Ted as he liked to be called and I would often have coffee and discuss the happenings of the world. Ted and I would talk about family, construction, farming, the neighbourhood! I learned a lot from him. Ted would show genuine interest in your family and interests. Ted had a great sense of humour and quick wit! I will miss our conversations, saying good morning neighbour over the fence. I feel fortunate to have shared time with him over the last 11 years as his neighbour. - Posted by: dave barclay (neighbor) on: Oct 18, 2017
