Our sincere sympathy to all the Schmidtke family. Nelda, Rudy, Richard and Rob, and all their families. Mom and Dad (Pat & Werner) are deeply saddened at Horst's passing as am I. He was a great friend to Mom and Dad, always willing to help out or offer advice. Mom and Dad always enjoyed New Years at the Schmidtke's or visits to Shoal Lake. But I have a hard time refering to him as Horst. Onkel Horst he will always remain. Rest in peace. With all our thoughts.
