James Leroy Schmiedlin

Jim left his footprints on our hearts while we served as his staff at Eau Claire County Hospital. He taught us to respect one another and the residents, and to provide them with the family atmosphere and feeling that so many lacked. My sincere condolences to all of you who were so fortunate to have him for a father and grandfather. We will remember him always as a great administrator, caring man, and friend to all. Love to all of you, Arletta Rud Eau Claire, WI

My heart is heavy. I will miss this man of compassion and understanding. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I am sure as well that someday we will walk together again in the next life. Barry Unke

Wow. What a truly wonderful man. My condolences to his family and friends.

I would like to thank everyone who has and will post here as well as all of the heartfelt condolences I have received from seemingly everyone I run into in Lodi. My Dad was a true gift to the world and I am so lucky to have had him for my Father. He gave me a lifetime of laughter and comfort and lifted me up when I dould not do so myself. His lessons are forever in my heart and I hope as I move on in life that I can use those lessons well and make him proud to call me daughter. I love you Dad!!

Just found out that Jim passed. What a joy he was to know and contemplate life with. My Condolences Julie Thompson Lodi, Wi
