Dear Mrs. Schabel, Ed, Steven and family, I’m sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of time spent with your family on
Camelot Circle and Fitzgerald Point. Mr. Schabel was a kind man with a great sense of humor. I’ll be holding you all up in prayer.

Dear Carole,
“Her inspiration and support made my life happier than I ever dreamed”–what a wonderful testimony to your role as a wife. May these heartfelt words always provide comfort, knowing how much you obviously meant to Karl. I grew up on Thornton Road across the street from the Schabels. Max and Frieda were salt of the earth people, and my parents always had the highest respect for them. Betty Ann (as we called her) was my babysitter for a number of years. I was sorry to learn of her passing via Karl’s obituary. He was ten years older than I, so I knew him as “Betty Ann’s big brother.” His many accomplishments must have been a source of pride to his parents. I lost my husband of 46 years this spring, so I know firsthand the difficult path you will be walking. My hope is that your many treasured memories bring you solace and smiles.

To the Schabel Family,
I was sad to read of Karl’s passing. I worked for Karl in my early years at Niagara Mohawk. He brightened my day with his smile and personality. He always had a funny joke to share. He often spoke about his boys and also his fun times on Otisco Lake. He was one of a kind. My sincere sympathy for his loss. May God bless you all and may Karl rest in peace.
