Huskerpapa Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Not really sure where to put this, so I will simply slot it here and let Dimes direct it elsewhere if necessary...but learned that Jeff Schmahl just passed away. He was great at 10/11 sports and then brought character and innovation to UNL. An overall good guy...may he rest in peace. http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/father-of-huskervision-jeff-schmahl-dies/article_efaf1543-2525-5941-9fc3-6d3425e61077.html Bugeaters1 and jaimes2000 2 Quote
swoof Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 So sad. Rushing home on Friday nights after football or basketball games to watch Jeff do the high school scores was part of growing up for me. Norm Peterson 1 Quote

AuroranHusker Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Schmahl was a pro at whatever he did on earth. Extending his family our condolences. Bugeaters1 1 Quote

Norm Peterson Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Jeff had a blog about his ordeal that he started when he got the diagnosis and I want to say it was posted on here. Maybe on the old board. I have to say he handled the public end of it with a lot of class and dignity. His surviving family members should be proud of the kind of person he was.

jimmykc Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Followed the blog from the start. I never met him but his honest writing showed that he faced his disease courageously and loved his family with all his heart. That is about all any of us should want to leave as a legacy. R.I.P. Mr Schmahl. cipsucks 1 Quote
Husker4Life Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 I had the pleasure of playing softball with Jeff. He played shortstop on our city team. What an outstanding person he was and will be missed. Quote
