    Jeff & I are sending our deepest sympathies to the entire Schofield family. Danny & the Schofields lived next door to the House family in the early to mid-70’s on N. Franklin St in Mondovi. Us kids used to argue over who owned the tree stump up front between the 2 houses. Also, the berry vine that grew over the back fence by the House garage. Of course, kids are weird like that. Lol
    I’ll never forget Danny & I feel saddened for you all.
    R.I.P. Danny. You WILL be missed by your loved ones.

  6. Bill and Chris Smith

    Penny and family, our hearts are breaking for all of you on the loss of such a special, special man. We will always cherish the best neighbors that anyone could ever have and will miss all our visits with Dan at the mailbox. It was such a delight when he would just buzz over in the golf cart on one of his rides to just stop and visit for a few minutes! There was never a time that he didn't share that wonderful laugh with us and even though he was younger we got a kick out of his nickname for us the kids! What a dear friend he was, Hugs and God's Blessings to your entire family at this very difficult time, it is such a hard loss for all who knew Dan and we will miss him dearly.
    Bill and Chris
