“He very much loved around the creek and definitely considered a creeker,” said Johnny Gentry who lives close by, adding Schoenfeld was like a godfather.
He was a plumbing specialist with the nickname “plumber,” as well as a lover of rock music and his wild cats.
“He would spend his last dime on his wild cats,” Gentry laughed.
He added Schoenfeld was well loved by the community and was always willing to help anyone out.
“He always had a smile on his face, especially since he got his teeth. I mean, everybody knew that,” Schoenfeld’s niece LaQueena Fulkerson laughed.
