Joseph E. Schumacher

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Lodi

I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I am the saferide coordinator and I was in charge of paying him. Every month he would come to my house and we would have extensive talks about many subjects. When he told me he was quitting driving for SafeRide I told him the community of Poynette had a very good servant. RIP Joe and thank you for all the people you made sure got home safely.

Joe was a neighbor of mine. When my husband was passing from cancer, Joe gave me his phone number. Told me, im just a phone call away. Bless his heart, he was such a giving man RIP Joe, Poynette will miss you.

My husband and I were lucky to call Joe and Jane neighbors when we lived in Poynette from 1999 to 2010. Joe was an incredibly kind neighbor and was always willing to lend a hand. And he always had an interesting story to share. He had an incredible work ethic as well. I remember when he dug a 5 foot deep trench around their house on Lincoln Street so he could work on the outside basement walls. He always had a project going - roofing the house, putting in windows etc. And he was always helping people in the neighborhood. Just a wonderful person. Our deepest condolences.

I don't know how but I know his family in Tx. Peggy. His sister, her children and so on. When Peggy and i were hanging out. She would speak of Joe. Celebrate his life like he would want. Take care of yourself and each other.
