My deepest sympathies are extended to the immediate family and friends. I, with a handful of other dedicated Schnorf cousins, are actively working on assembling a compilation of the Schnorf Family History. I could not locate George Ernst Schnorf or his parents, George and Madeline Schnorf, in my records. Can someone in your family group please contact me so that I may add your information to the master database.

Aunt Judy and Family,
I wish I would have come into the family before Uncle George got ill. You could tell that he was an incredibly wise and witty man. I feel blessed to have known him for the short time I did. I have to share that when Parker heard he was ill, he said to Mike "He was a smart man, he was the one who gave me my smartness!" - funny coming from a child who never really knew him. Amazing what children can pick up about others.

Love to you all.
