  So sorry to hear about your loss. Such a good man and great family. Always grateful for helping me out back when I was a young lad. I still chuckle about how he simply explained to Dan and me on how to run faster. "...you just move your legs faster". And he could move his pretty fast like on the racquetball court. Tough to beat. Peace to the family.

  I will always remember Uncle Bill (Roger Schultz is my father in law) when Lou and I got married. He had an amazing van with scripture all over it. Bill's passion for his faith was evident and admirable. Wonder how many lives he changed with that van? Our fondest regards and so much love to Bill's family. Love, Simona and Roger S. Schultz (and Lou in heaven)

  David Davenport

  My name is David Davenport. I was the scrappy neighbor kid who lived about a mile from the Schultz family in Ballston Lake, NY, up until I was 17 and joined the Navy. Danny has always been my best friend, and I am grateful for the honor of occasionally visiting him and his amazing family in California, where I now live as well. Today is about honoring the life of Mr. Schultz and saying goodbye, while also supporting his beloved wife, children, and friends. How do you do all that in such a short time? You do it by talking about them all—because that's the way Mr. Schultz would have wanted it. Mr. and Mrs. Schultz were pillars of strength in Ballston Lake. At our local country store, Lake Side Farm, it always seemed as if the room grew smaller when they walked in—their presence was that powerful. Mrs. Schultz carried herself with elegance that rivaled royalty, and Mr. Schultz stood proudly at her side. The truth is, there was no Mr. Schultz without Mrs. Schultz. As a devoted husband, he leaned into her great strength, and together they built a foundation of love and family. Let me share just a couple of memories. On December 23, 1980, my family's house caught fire. Mrs. Schultz, driving by as firefighters battled the flames, pulled over, called me into her car, and told my father she would take care of me. That night I slept in Danny's room, wearing clothes from half of Danny's closet, which Mrs. Schultz had split down the middle to share with me. Mr. Schultz accepted me into their home without hesitation—without question. Another time, after Danny and I got into trouble at school, Mrs. Schultz showed up to meet with the principal. When he said something negative about me, she immediately defended me, corrected him, and then left the office. Of course, Danny and I were still in trouble—but I knew I was loved and protected. I always felt like family in their home. Mrs. Schultz corrected me when I spoke wrong, and I listened with respect. At 17, when I joined the Navy, she was the only person I wrote letters to—and the only one who ever wrote me back. Just three years ago, during dinner in La Jolla, she handed me those same envelopes—the letters I had written as a teenager. She remembered me. She always remembered me. So why have I spoken so much about Mrs. Schultz? Because she was—and is—Mr. Schultz's greatest strength. He would want her acknowledged. Together they built a beautiful family, one I am blessed to know and love to this day. In closing, I would like to share a poem I wrote, one that may provide some comfort. ‐------- Missing Dad By David Davenport I am sorry for your loss And can't imagine how you feel I pray for your family His passing so unreal Dad's loving heart And life's gifts will remain With people he touched Their lives ever changed His soul lives with you In your memory and heart Where he'll always be smiling And you'll never be apart Grieve as you will And take the time you need To honor your Dad's life From this earth he is freed God Bless you and your family

  I am so deeply saddened by the loss of My Dear Uncle Bill. This wonderful man took be under his wing as a teenager for several months when I was basically homeless! He treated me with such kindness and love, love that I had not known even existed in this world ! He was a loving, kind Uncle , or actually taught me the meaning of "Love"! He was so funny too! Uncle Bill wanted to shake hands with every guy I dated! The next day he would say, how was your date with Tex Ritter? How was your date with "Mouse", you have a stronger handshake than him! I would laugh for hours! He was the sweetest, most lovable man I ever meet, by far, dear Uncle Bill. May the Lord keep him, I will love him to my end of days! God Bless and keep you, I love you so much! Godspeed, Love ,Ellen
