Pasadena Funeral Home
	It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of our precious 
husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, John Joseph (Jack) Schmidt, 
on March 4, 2010. It is with great joy that we know he has entered into the 
presence of his Lord.
	Jack was born in Plymouth, PA on August 10, 1929, to Louis and Alice 
Schmidt. He is survived by his beloved wife Billie (Wigley) (Barmore) Schmidt, 
son John A. Schmidt and Sandra Ashworth, daughter Janet Svoboda and husband 
James, and daughter Gretchen Netzband and husband Mike. Also remaining to 
grieve are his grandchildren Kristen Sledge and husband Jonathan, Matthew 
Svoboda, Jacob Netzband, Jessica Netzband, and Heidi Cress and her children 
Bryce, Stevie, and Cassey, his
mother-in-law Bess Wigley, sister-in-law and brother- in-law Gayla and Mike 
Roberts and their children Melissa Roberts and Lt. Commander Michael Roberts, 
his wife Amanda, and their daughter Faith.
	After graduating from Plymouth High School, Jack enlisted in the Air 
Force. He rose to the rank of Technical Sergeant and was then accepted into 
Officer Candidate School. He served his country faithfully and proudly for 20 
years, before retiring at the rank of Major.  After retiring from the Air 
Force, Jack worked for Lockheed supporting the space program. Later, he and a 
co-worker decided to "Go and have some fun." He then served as Executive Vice-
President of A&J Enterprises. His "FUN" came from being a flight instructor 
and teaching others about the joy of flight.
	Jack's favorite pastime was spending time with Billie. It was rare to 
see one without the other, and even rarer to see them when they were not 
holding hands. Jack was a good man and a gentle soul. He had a quiet way about 
him that is rarely seen today – he was truly an "Officer and a Gentleman". He 
will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
	A celebration of his life will be held on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 
2:00 pm at the Pasadena Funeral Chapel. The family will receive friends 
beginning at 1:00 pm. Interment will follow at South Park Cemetery. In lieu of 
flowers, donations may be made in his name to the Asbury United Methodist 
Church Building Fund.  	To share words of comfort with the family, please

A. MAY & Jessie Lee MILLER.
