Mr Schnupp has been our neighbor for 9 years.
He made the most beautiful impression on our family.
My 2 little girls noticed that every morning at the same time, he was sitting outside on his patio regardless of the the temperature.
One day they were whispering to each other very excitedly, as if they figured out an amazing secret, saying “That man is praying! That’s why he comes out there everyday!”
Then we started walking early in the morning when the weather got nicer and there we would pass by Mr Schnupp with his big smile and his “I love Jesus” hat.
My girls were so happy to know that our neighbor loved Jesus and was letting everybody know.
One winter it was very cold and we saw him sitting outside of his home and my girls said “Let’s play Secret Santa on Mr Schnupp.”
They took outdoor chair cushions from our backyard and tied them onto the chair they saw him sitting on everyday because they saw the chairs were made out of metal, so they would be colder then if they were made of plastic or wood. They beloved that of his wife was alive she would not want him to be so cold.
He had a word of encouragement for us as parents and homeschoolers and enjoyed sharing stories about his wife homeschooling as his children were growing up.
We will miss Mr Leon Schnupp for sure. I wish we could have had more time talking to such a special man.
So sorry for the loss of your father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend.
