In Loving Memory

Our sincere heartfelt sympathy to the entire Schlemmer family on the passing of Donnie. Words cannot express the condolences everyone feels.

Patrice and Jack Mohr

I have lived beside you for over thirty years either in my parents house or the house my wife and I built on the other side of you. I have had the pleasure of watching you and Nancy raise two great sons in Eric and Brian and have seen the love you have for your grandchildren and they have for you. I have also had the pleasure of entering your place of employment on several occasions and telling your co-workers I live beside Don Schlemmer. On each and every occasion I would mention your name I would hear "you know Schlem? I love that guy", there was never a negative comment about you Schlem.

To a friend and neighbor you will be missed, condolences to your wonderful family.
