Birth date: Nov 27, 1946 Death date: Jun 29, 2018
William F. Schneider, 71, of Alliance, peacefully passed away with his family by his side on Friday, June 29, 2018 at the Hospice Care Center in Fairlawn, Ohio. Born on November 27, 1946 in Alliance, to William F. and Dorothy (Woo Read Obituary
I got my AHS Foundation newsletter yesterday, and I was shocked to see Bill's name in
the memorial column. Bill was always a kind and considerate being. We spent many hours enjoying our basketball experiences with State Street Basketball, including walking home after practices and games. It does not sound real to call him Bill or William when I only new him as "Skeets", from wherever that name came. Our last activity together was at the 50th reunion when we played golf at The Alliance Country Club; my wife and Mike Cindia were also in the group. We had a great time; and as usual, he was quite jovial. I send my deepest sympathies to his family, especially "Linda from Leetonia", and his brothers and sisters I recall from class.
A very common story about Skeets was when our 9th grade coach, Mr. Siefke, sent a basketball home with him to sleep with to try to get him to learn to hold on to the ball. We all got a great charge out of that.
He also helped me with my eighth grade basketball team by working with the big men; and he would bring his Regina team over to State Street to scrimmage with my non-starters.

Linda,
So sorry to hear of Bills passing. As you know Bill and I worked side by side at B&W for many years. We also were golf partners in a league at Turkeyfoot golf course through B&w. I will always remember Bill as a caring, dedicated and funny guy. Again so sorry for you and your family’s lost. Jim Burnett
I met Bill on the golf course and was impressed with his long accurate drives (his height helps) but he mostly talked about his addiction to PBall and a little about his enjoyment of racketball. He taught me PBall and we were fast friends. I will never forget you Bill, you were welcoming, kind and encouraging. I am happy you are my friend Yourfriendship is everlasting. Sincerest sympathies to your wonderful family. Marie Knowlton
Enjoyed working with Bill at B&W and playing racketball with him. Peace, comfort, and strength to his family.
Linda and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Bill was a very special man and so caring. I did try to come to calling hours but there was so many there, I just couldn’t stand in the very long line. My heart goes out to you and family. RIP Bill,I’m sure he went straight to heaven. God bless you,my prayers are with you
We are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He treated everyone like they were old friends. Linda, you and your family have our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Kyle and Mary King.
Bill was a good person 50+ years ago in high school, and remained so throughout his life. His encouragement at pickleball and otherwise will be missed.
Condolences to his family.
