<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Dear Neighbors, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have the sad responsibility of sharing with you the news that Steve
Schmidlin passed away. He apparently died in his sleep last night or
this morning. I will make sure to post information about arrangements as
soon as such information becomes available. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many of you know Steve better than I and will perhaps want to share some
memories of him over the coming days or weeks. For those who don't know
him, he is probably best know as the owner of the S & J Restaurant and
Bar. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will just say that I found him to be a very genuine person, who could
be depended on. Steve was a lifelong resident of Riverdale and had roots
in the town that proceeded him by several generations. He was always
happy to do anything to boost our town, and was glad to be working to
keep our town center alive. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just last Saturday he made the S & J available to Councilman
Oppenhiem to host an event to promote the creation of a hiker/biker trail
along the old trolley line that runs through town. </DIV>
<DIV>Steve told us how he remembered taking the trolley as a small boy with
other family members and how his Grandmother was born right here by the
crossing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My sympathy goes out to all of his family, but most of all to his
wife and partner Ziggy. He will be missed by many more friends too.
Former Mayor Guy Tiberio was Steve's Godfather and I know that they remained
close right up to the end. My condolences to all who knew and
now will miss Steve. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely, <BR clear=all><BR>Vernon Archer, Mayor<BR>Town of
Riverdale Park, Maryland </DIV>
