Jeffrey's Memory Wall

We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of Jeffrey here, so that the family and other loved ones can always see it. Share your favorite stories or comment on those shared by others.

I feel so fortunate to have worked with Jeff for 17 years. He really loved being a dentist and was loved and respected by 3 generations of some families. Jeff possessed the spirit of service. He served his country, his community, his local and state dental societies with professionalism and class. He was very generous to his staff and provided educational opportunities to help us be our best. Jeff loved and adored his Micki and his family and I know you will miss him as we all will. I hope it comforts you to know he once told Lyle and I that he had no regrets and had enjoyed a great life. I'm happy and proud to have known this kind and empathetic man. God bless you. Judy

Micki, Christine, Jennifer and Family— even though I didn’t work “for” Jeff, I was a coworker in the same office for many years. I have always had the utmost respect for Jeff not only for the highest caliber of dentistry that he performed, but for the way he warmly treated everyone he interfaced with. He was a people person and a family man. He was the consummate professional. I loved his teaching moments and his willingness to help at all times. Part of me passed with him. I pray you all will find strength, comfort and peace in your memories and knowledge that he is now healthy and that you will be reunited with him someday. Cheryl Knuth

Micki, I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Schmidt's passing. He was a truly loving and caring person and employer. I remember coming to the office on a Monday morning and finding "forensic remains" on the counter. I was shocked. When he came in, he was so sorry for having left them there. He couldn't apologize enough. He was so concerned for me. He was such a wonderful man. I will always remember him with fond and loving memories. He really was one of a kind. My heart goes out to you and your family. May God give you comfort and peace, and fill your days with happy memories. I know the power of prayer and the love and support of family and friends. I know you will be uplifted. Love and peace be with you.

Dear Mickey and family: Linda and I were both surprised and saddened to read of Jeff's death. He was both our dentist and friend for decades. He always had a smile and his office exuded his warmth as soon as you walked in. After his retirement our paths crossed several times out in the community and our talks always centered around our last trips and future planned trips. He will indeed be missed but remain in our memories. Please accept our condolences. Linda and Larry Steck

We are heartbroken to lose one of the finest people we have ever known. Jeff was excellent in everything from his dentistry, to his relationships with people. to his impeccable dress code. He embodied the true meaning of a scholar and a gentleman. We loved the 20 years of vacations we spent together, hundreds of dinners both in St Jo, Chicago as well as St.Martin. We will miss you Jeff Bill and Jo Anna McCormick

So sad to hear the passing of Dr. Schmidt he was a wonderful person and a great dentist. Dr. Schmidt became our family dentist when he first started out over by Mercy Hospital and even before my husband and I got married. We both had Dr. Schmidt before we even met. He was our dentist until he retired. Our kids had him and my daughter's family also had him. He was always so kind and caring we will miss him. Our condolences goes out to his family. May the God of all comfort be your peace and joy as you look back on a life well lived. So Sorry!
