He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Rev. Father Bernard Schreiber and an infant brother, August; and a great-granddaughter, Braelyn.

The family would like to thank the Golden Living Center - Continental Manor for all their care and compassion they gave our dad the three years he was a resident.

Also a special thank you to St. Joseph's Hospital and the Palliative Care Unit for all their kindness and professionalism they showed to the family.
