You were a great man Pop. I will never forget the way that you and Gram opened up you arms and accepted me into the family. I will miss coming over to the house with Jenn for dinner and a quick game of euchre, spending time up at the cabin(expecially during the summer and hunting season)and just sitting down to watch a yankee game. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

We have many memories of Judge Schreppel not only as kids but as adults. He was the "father" of us as we grew up in South Corning. He also married us in 2000, giving us a beautiful and memorable wedding. God Bless

Harold and Mary Jane Semple March 9, 2010
Joyce, Sherry, Debbie and Bobby - Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We know Bob is walking the streets of gold singing God's praises but still will be missed. Love to all. Harold, Mary Jane and Shawn.

I will surely miss my Sunday morning hug from Bob and his words of affection that I knew came from his heart. Even though he will be greatly missed, I can only begin to imagine what the reunion was like in heaven early Sunday morning. My thoughts and prayers to Joyce and all the family.

Although I have only known Bob since 2003, I feel as if I have known him a life time. I shall never forget his wit and humor. He will certainly be missed by the Steuben County Magistrates Association. He loved Joyce unconditionally. My husband loved being entertained by Bob at our SCMA parties. Until we meet again...Aloha.

Bob: I will surely miss you.I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. You were my mentor when I first joined the fire service and was the person who convinced me to make it my career. you could always bring a smile to a person with your wit and humor and seldoem had anything bad to say about a person. I will never forget that mischievious smile. You were one of my father's best friends and one he often talked about. May the lord smile on you and accept you in to his home and be with your famly in this time of grief.
