FREDERICK HALL SCHNEIDER III

Frederick Hall Schneider, III, surrounded by his loving family, passed from 
this life to his next peacefully at his home in Baton Rouge, LA in the early 
hours of November 6th. He was born September 21, 1936 in Lake Providence, LA, 
the only son of Sara Regenold Schneider and Frederick Hall Schneider Jr. 
Described by one of his friends as "First Class Freddy", Fred excelled in so 
many of his endeavors due to his hard work and passion for life. The 
characteristics that we most appreciated were that of being a faithful 
husband, a fabulous father, a perfect brother, a wonderful role model, and a 
gentleman. Fred was a cotton farmer in Lake Providence, LA for 45 years and 
has lived in Baton Rouge, LA since his retirement.
He was a graduate of Louisiana State University and a member of Delta Kappa 
Epsilon Fraternity. He was an active, lifelong member of the Episcopal Church 
serving on the vestry and often as senior warden of Grace Episcopal Church in 
Lake Providence. He was instrumental in the formation of Briarfield Academy 
where he served as a founding board member for 16 years. He was also 
instrumental in the formation of Louisiana Cotton Producers Association. He 
served on boards for the National Cotton Council, Cotton Incorporated, and the 
First National Bank of Lake Providence. In 1984, he was named Cotton Farming 
Magazine's "Cotton Farmer of the Year".
He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Sara Ann Schneider Mott, 
brother-in-law Joe Mott, mother-in-law Constance Regenold, and nephew Gregory 
Allen.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Connie Allen Schneider; his six 
children and their families - Susan and Paul Cambon, Paul Jr. and Ara, Anna 
Lee, Allen, & Sara (Alexandria, VA); Renee and Teddy Schneider, Mary Kathryn 
and David Crigler and great granddaughter Camille, Madelyn, & Hall (Lake 
Providence, LA); Elizabeth and Todd Schneider, Madelyn & Sam (Alexandria, VA); 
Gwyn and Tim Schneider, Evans & Isabel (Atlanta, GA); Amy and Scott Schneider, 
Scottie, Emily Anne, Will, & Jack (Lake Oconee, GA); Maria and Brant Mitchell, 
Megan, Davis, & Claire (Baton Rouge, LA); his two sisters Gay and husband Bob 
Warren (Denver, CO) and Nanette and husband George Beach (Shreveport, LA); his 
step-brother Donal Botkin (San Francisco, CA); his brother-in-law Lee Allen 
and wife Beverly (Tulsa, OK); and a host of nieces and nephews. One of his 
nieces appropriately described him as a true patriarch of our large family.
Dad was truly a role model for all of us. The highest form of compliment that 
we can all offer is to emulate the life of our father. Thank you, Dad, for 
providing us with the most wonderful gifts of life.
Special thanks to Fred's many caregivers throughout his illness including: Dr. 
Louis Minsky, Alzheimer's Service of Baton Rouge, Susan Sellers, Cynthia 
Alsbrook, Lynn Temple, Amanda McAffery, and Hospice Services of Baton Rouge - 
Susan, Ruby, Beth, and Denise.
