I am so sorry for the loss of Schaub. He was a wonderful man. I will miss him dearly. Love to all of you! “Jules”
My condolences to you and your family. 96 years is quite an achievement! I do not know if you remember this, but my father knew your father and worked with him at the St. Cloud State Reformatory. He was a lieutenant corrections counselor at the St. Cloud Reformatory until his death in 1973. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope Saturday is a special day for all of you in celebration of the 96 years Clarence shared with his family and friends.
Remember– your father will always be there with you, in a special place… your heart. God Bless!
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your father. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Shaub, thank you for sharing your family with me. Your children are a great legacy to the love that you offered to everyone. God bless you and your family. Your long life will be remembered and appreciated.
Your children speak volumes of your dedication to your family. Shine on Mr. Schaubach! My prayers are sent up for those you have left behind. They will be on a later flight!
