I had the opportunity to work with Daniel, his wife Norma, son Danny and daughter Suzanne while I was head of the circulation department at the Sentinel in the 1980's. This was a friendly and close knit family. I always enjoyed their friendship and humor. My thoughts are reflecting on those times now and my prayers are with the entire family while they handle the loss of their father.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Schiessl family.
I was neighbors with them in the mid 70's. Both Mr. & Mrs. Schiessl were excellent role models for their children. Their door was always open to me and I will always remember that.
