E. Richard "Dick" Schneider

It is with a great deal of sorrow that we share the news of the passing and transfer to Post Everlasting of our beloved friend and former Commander E. Richard "Dick" Schneider. A Legionnaire for over 33 years, Dick served as the Post 199 Commander for 17 years. During his tenure as Commander, he dealt with a wide range of challenges and saw a great many changes evolving within the Post; all whilst at the helm through many successes and accomplishments. On more than one occasion, he was a confidant, a mentor, and always an inspiration. By no short measure, he was instrumental with ensuring our Post's very survival. His contributions will not soon be forgotten.

He is survived his wife Carole Hurta Schneider of Fairhope, Alabama, other relatives and many friends.

He will be remembered fondly by his Family, Friends, Post Members, and Fellow Legionnaires. Please keep his devoted wife, Carole, in your prayers and thoughts. The family will receive friends on Tues, July 15, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Wolfe-Bayview Chapel in Fairhope, Alabama.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at St. Lawrence Catholic Church at 10:00AM. A luncheon will follow immediately after in the St. Lawrence room.

Interment will be at Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spanish Fort, Al, on July 16, 2025, promptly at 1:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Legion Post 199 building fund or St. Michael Catholic High School Fairhope.
