Bill, you always said, "Virtue is its own reward". I say to you that "Your virtue was and will forever be my reward." Your firm attitudes about life, your stable disposition and personality, your ability for deep conversation, your humor in all things, your strong and calming presence, and your habitual search for the truth in ever issue, through faith and reason, have left an immutable imprint on me forever! You will be alive in me until we meet again in God's great Glory! Rest in Peace my dear father-in-law and may perpetual light shine upon your soul in your journey to the heavens!

Uncle Bill was one of a kind who always made everyone laugh. He was my mother’s (Mary, his sister) champion throughout his life. Uncle Bill was very generous despite having a large family and plenty of grandchildren. He made sure to send my family extra money at Christmas time so I could provide a more enjoyable Christmas for my six children. Such a great man who will be deeply missed by all my children, Kim and I. I love you Uncle Bill and hope one day to meet you again.

Bill was a man who got your attention. One never knew what he might say. - usually something freakin witty. St Peter’s finding him hysterically funny up there. Bill had a sharp mind and a compassionate side too. Oh how we’ll miss you, dear friend.

From the time I could walk I was a happy visitor to 80 Hamilton Road. Bill and Veronica and the kids always made me feel as welcome and loved as my own dear O’Keefe family down the road in Baldwin. Bill and Frank took me to so many fun activities in town, including youth basketball where we were the “hams” vs. the “clams”. Bill’s super quick wit and hilarious jokes and one-liners provided constant laughs. I'll always love Bill's nickname for me-Jarring Jack Jackson! I also witnessed the deep and abiding love between Bill and Veronica-addressing each other as “dear”. Being part of many years of Schroeder family vacations, and visiting East Terrace and Malibu so many times, was truly joyous, and Bill’s delicious steak and beefaroni always kept up my energy! I was in the Schroeder living room when we watched the moon landing in 1969! From the time I was high school age Bill and I shared a lot of time talking about aspects of politics and history we both found interesting. Having Bill and Veronica at our house was always great fun as I sat with Bill and my Dad, Justin, listening to their lively and intelligent discussions about subjects ranging from the old days in Brooklyn to the root causes of the many troubles in the world. Bill taught me how not to take yourself too seriously at times and enjoy good-natured fun, but also to take seriously the most important matters of faith and family. We are all so blessed to have him in our lives! Let us all pray we meet him in Heaven!

So sad to see this. We met Bill, and Veronica, in 1986 when our daughters started high school. At the first parents' meeting, we were not sure what to expect, but Bill's outgoing nature and self-deprecating sense of humor made us and the other parents feel comfortable when, during his introduction, Bill advised all that, despite appearances, he was in fact Mary's father and not her grandfather. That broke the ice and established a rapport. Throughout the four years, as our daughters bonded, we saw the Schroeders frequently. The meetings were always enjoyable. Bill attended every soccer game and every social event. After high school and a relocation, we did not see each other often, but always asked about him and sent our regards through his daughter Mary. Our deepest sympathy to Veronica, to Mary, and to all of Bill's family. We cherish the memories. I just learned from Bill's obituary that we both attended St. Francis College, although at different times. Love, Eileen and Fred Brown.

It was always a joy to spend time with the Schroeder Family, at their home and at the beach. Mr. Schroeder’s sense of humor was legendary. I will never forget him singing the lyrics he wrote to the tune of “Oh Danny Boy” at Mary and Dan’s wedding reception. Mr. Schroeder was also honest, so I had no doubt that he was “overtaxed” as his license plate stated. He gave generously throughout his life – not only to the IRS, but in many other ways – including by sharing his time and by his example of how to live a good life. The benefits of those contributions flow far and wide. What a beautiful and strong family he and Mrs. Schroeder raised. Sending my love and condolences to all the Schroeders, Flanagans, McCanns, Buckheits and Aherns. I know you will hold each other up during this painful time and know that many friends will be standing by to support you. Love, Margaret Brown Scullin
