To Dennis Schneibel' Family: As I reflect back on when I first met Dennis and his family, I was in the 5th grade. I recall good times with visits to the farm(drinking milk straight from the cow UGH), 4th of July at Linda and Paul', different holidays with everyone, and a few sporting events that Dale and Lorraine were in. There is no doubt that Dennis had an influence on me as I also pursued the occupation of firefighter and succeeded. I recall how happy he was when he was notified that he was hired. I truly am sorry for your loss. Dennis, rest in peace.

Tracy and the entire Schniebel family; I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Dennis. This past week as I was going through photos I realized I was about the age of 5 or so when Dennis came into our lives. Looking back through those photos brought back so many great memories of family times with all of you. Along with holidays and events at the Firehall, Auctions, Semi truck rides to Duluth, MN, Knights of Columbus events, his love to dance, him dressing up as Santa for the kids and so many more memories.
He was definitely a significant part of my upbringing and I canâ€™t tell you all how very sorry I am for your loss.
Rest in peace Dennis.
