Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I worked with Gene several years in sustaining at Cessna Aircraft in the Experimental Department. I will miss his wonderful sense of humor. He was a good man with a big heart. I always wanted to buy that old El Camino he drove every day but he wouldn’t sell it. I wouldn’t have sold it either. He will truly be missed. God bless him and his family.

  2. My condolences to all of Gene’s family. I knew him only as ‘Gene’. I worked with Gene at Cessna for many years, starting at the old Pawnee Division and then moving to the Mid-Continent facility. We spent many years working together on the Caravan and other airplanes. I always liked working with Gene because he was easy to get along with and was eager to learn and always wanted things right. May God’s grace grant you peace at this time of sorrow.

  3. Terri, It was such a blessing being able to see your dad and my mom together (with all the Schneider siblings) this past May. It truly was a God thing that we were able to get together and take pictures of such a memorable event. My prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of a great friend and devoted dad. Your dad, my uncle, will be missed but never forgotten.

  4. Our sincere condolences to Gene’s family. He’s been a wonderful friend and neighbor to us for 28 years. We will miss our conversa- tions over the fence,hearing him yell at the dogs to get back in the yard,his generosity with garden produce, seeing him out on his yard tractor scraping snow off neighbors’ driveways, but mostly we’ll miss his friendship and ready smile.

  5. Our sincere condolences to the family. Uncle Jack you will be missed by all family and friends. Keith and Dottie Schreiber, Northglenn, Co.
