Samuel Adam Schneider, 46, of Sturgeon Bay, WI, formerly of Longmont, CO, passed away at home on Sunday, June 19, 2022. 

     He was born on June 18, 1976, at Bellin Hospital in Green Bay, the son of Peter John Schneider and Gloria Adams Schneider. Growing up, Sam enjoyed drawing, trick bicycle riding, and skateboarding. He was a member of the local Boy Scout troop and the Sturgeon Bay Sail Training Foundation. Through the sailing program, he developed his love for sailboat racing. Using his drawing skills, he was able to design and later construct racing boats. Sam attended Sturgeon Bay High School. He was known for being a charismatic, fun-loving, and creative person. Sam would often escape to the art room. Those who still have their SBHS yearbooks from the early-mid 1990s will be able to attest that he was uncannily in almost every group, club, and team photo within that yearbook even though he never participated in those various groups and sports. That was Sam, the prankster. 

     As a teenager, his musical appreciation and style had him following the musical group, The Grateful Dead. He taught himself how to play the guitar and had an interest in electronics. 

     On June 21, 1998, Sam married Meredith Elizabeth Guthrie in rural Jacksonport. They were blessed with two daughters: Melody and Sierra. He and Meredith shared over 14 years together before separating. 

     Sam worked many jobs throughout his life. Earlier on, he was a server and eventually a cook for a restaurant in St. Simons Island, GA. He constructed home stereo systems in Boulder, CO for over twelve years. Then he worked as a bouncer in a club in Denver, CO. After that, he was a bartender in Sturgeon Bay. His last job was working as an automobile detailer in Longmont, CO. 

     Sam found peace in nature and loved gardening. His creativity was ever present in jewelry design and racing boat construction. Later in his life, Sam had a love and great passion for Jungian Psychology and was greatly inspired by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s four archetypes of consciousness: the self, the persona, the shadow, and the anima/animus. He read just about every writing of Jung and delved the deepest into his book “Mysterium Coniunctionis.” Anyone who knew Sam knew that he escaped life’s hardships and negativity by writing in his journals, he was a great writer. Sam was drawn so much to water, whether that be the ocean, lakes, or streams, and those waters will forever carry memories of him. He enjoyed long drives listening to music with his daughters and frequently traveled to his favorite and most memorable locations, this included Colorado, Door County, St. Simons Island, and Florida. 

     He will be deeply missed by his two daughters, Melody (fiancé, Tyler Kauffman) Schneider of Casper, WY, and Sierra Schneider of Erie, CO; former wife and mother of his daughters, Meredith Guthrie of Erie, CO; mother, Gloria Schneider of Sturgeon Bay, WI; three sisters, Katie Drummond of Eagle Mountain, UT, Sarah (Ben) Nielsen of North Salt Lake, UT, and Joyanne (Allen) Ludington, IA; nieces and nephews; uncles and aunts, Lawrence “Larry” Schneider of Lakewood, WI, Mary Terrance “Terry” Carlson of Pound, WI, Paul (Marilynn) Schneider, and Tim (Zoann) Schneider, both of Menominee, MI, Golden V.

LeMoyne (Allison) Adams of Layton, UT, and Doyle (Shawna) Adams of St. George, UT; maternal grandmother, Loween Adams of North Ogden, UT; cousins; other relatives; and friends. 

     Sam was preceded in death by his father who died January 14, 1996; beloved pets, Ella and Miles Davis; paternal grandparents, Lawrence Peter Schneider and Lorrayne Bernice Jessel Schneider; maternal grandparents, Golden Virgil Adams, Sr. and Ruth Lenore (Paul) Thiessens Meacham; aunt and uncle, Tina Schneider and Charles Carlson; and other relatives.

If heaven has its version of the Algoma Boat Club, we suspect Mitch Groessl is already standing behind the bar, welcoming new arrivals with a warm smile and striking up a conversation. Mitch passed awayJune 13, 2022, one day shy of the birthday he shared with his wife at the age of 62 after battlingpancreatic cancer longer than most. He would say he was fortunate to enjoy every extra day.
A pillar of the Algoma community, Mitch was slated to be the 2022 Shanty Days Honoree later thissummer. It was a well-deserved recognition that marked a lifetime of commitment to making thehometown he treasured the best place it could be.
Mitch was born June 14, 1959, at Algoma Memorial Hospital to J. Alan and the late Beth (Shaw) Groessl.
He graduated from Algoma High School in 1977, where he played football, basketball and baseball, andmade lifelong friendships with classmates. Mitch was the youngest of the five Groessl children.
So entrenched in the Algoma community was Mitch even as a young man that when he went to pick up aSouthern Door girl for a blind date one evening, it was the first time he found himself in the position ofmeeting a date’s parents without them already knowing him. It was a quite the nerve-wracking experiencefor Mitch, but it seemed to turn out well in the end as he and the former Joan Schmelzer married onDecember 16, 1983, at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Sturgeon Bay.
Mitch was one of those guys who loved small-town living. He knew virtually everyone and everyoneknew Mitch. His easy smile and friendly manner put everyone he met immediately at ease, and he washappy to converse about any topic, especially sports. He officiated basketball,football and baseballgames, and was recognized by the WIAA for 40 years of service. He also served as the Algoma freshman
football coach at one point, and was a long-time member of the football chain gang, including the 2021season.
Family gatherings at the Boat Club centered on Mitch and his position behind the bar. He was alwaysready to assume his regular duties even as his health showed signs of more rapid decline just six weeksago. Never mind the fact he had just entered at-home hospice care. There was no way Mitch was going tobe anywhere but behind that bar for what he figured could be his last party.
Mitch joined the Algoma Rescue Squad in 1982 and continued to take calls until three weeks before his death. He served as captain and lieutenant of the Rescue Squad during his tenure, finally retiring as firefighter on January 1, 2020. Since records first started to be maintained in 1996, Mitch logged almost 5,500 hours of service to the Algoma Fire and Rescue Department. He was very proud that all three of hissons followed in his footsteps with Algoma Fire and Rescue.
During his working career, Mitch spent time at Algoma Hardwoods, Wisconsin Label, and the Kewaunee County Sheriff’s Department. He retired in 2013 and remained very busy. Mitch served on the Wisconsin
EMS Advisory Board, Kewaunee County Emergency Government, and as deputy coroner under Dave Hudson and more recently under his own son, Rory.
Mitch was well-known for his volunteer activities, including Algoma Shanty Days, Wet Whistle Wine Fest, and multiple other community events. He was an alderperson for Algoma’s Ward 3 for two terms,was an adjunct instructor at NWTC in which he assisted with EMT classes and practical exams, and served on the Door County Medical Center Board until forced to step down due to health reasons.
Mitch and Joan enjoyed their seasonal campsite at Ahnapee Shores for more than 20 years, and he enjoyed time spent with friends and annual vacations with John and Kendra. He was a lifelong fan of the Packers, Badgers and Brewers, and enjoyed driving for Algoma Motors. More importantly, he was happy to help anyone who asked for assistance.
Surviving Mitch are his wife, Joan; sons Rory (Sarah, and children Kalynn, Lauren and Levi); Casey (Shayna, and their son Greyson); and Quinn, all of Algoma; his father, Alan, of Algoma; brothers Mike, Two Rivers; Dave (Jane), Luxemburg; Mark (Barbie), Florida; father-in-law, George Schmelzer; sisters and brothers-in-law Jean (Chuck) Marsh, David (Tammy) Schmelzer, Del (Lisa) Schmelzer, Julie Schmelzer, Buck (Vicki) Schmelzer, Dean Schmelzer; cousin Lisa Schmelzer, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his mother, Beth; sister, Debbie Hareland (Gary); Casey and Shayna’s daughter, Aubree; and Joan’s mother, Barbara Schmelzer.
The family would like to thank everyone who stopped by for a visit or offered to help during Mitch’s final days. We are very appreciative, even if we didn’t take you up on the offer. We would also like to thank Dr. Robert Anderson and Dr. Kevin Mortara, and in the past couple months the Unity Hospice team led by Heather and Jenny. Any monetary donations will go toward an EMS Scholarship Fund in Algoma.
Visitation will take place from 3-8 p.m. Sunday, June 19, at Schinderle Funeral Home in Algoma and from 9-11 a.m. on Monday, June 20, at St. Mary Catholic Church in Algoma, where Mitch received all the sacraments. Mass will begin at 11 a.m., with lunch to follow in the cafeteria.
