To the Schnelker family:
I learned of Dave's passing @ an Allen County Retired Teachers meeting, and I was completely surprised. Dave was my principal, and I enjoyed his wit. He was most cordial, and I sincerely enjoyed his conversations and written staff communications. He was a compassionate servant, and I'm fortunate to have made his acquaintance. Take care of your Spirit!

I met the Schnelkers over 25 years ago when they hired me on as their realtor. David always treated me with the upmost respect and showed total trust in me. He was indeed a very honorable man who battled his health issues as strongly as anyone I have ever met. He truly showed amazing courage in the face of adversity. How fortunate I am to have known him and certainly blessed that he was a part of my life. I will truly miss him. Deepest condolences to Marta and the Schnelker family.
My condolences to David’s family. Dave hired me at Elmhurst to be athletic director. I always liked and respected him. He was a kind, humble man with a pleasant sense of humor. I am sorry I could not pay my respects in person.
