Del Schumacher

[blash]

It is with great sorrow that I am posting to let you know that Del Schumacher has passed away. Del was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer shortly after our meet. This cancer
was a rapid growing cancer and they gave Del 3 to 6 weeks to live. Del’s
condition deteriorated greatly this past week. He passed away peacefully this morning with Wanda
holding his hand. I do not have details of the funeral arrangments yet but will post when I get them.
Christina his daughter has requested that we all ride our motorcycles in the funeral procession.This was a wish of Del's. So please have your bikes ready. Lets all show our respect for our great leader. We will miss Del greatly. He was the foundation of our club and gave many years of service for Chief Blackhawk and the National AMCA.

this is a great loss to the Chief Blackhawk and the AMCA, Del will be remembered by the many friends he has all around this country. I met Del over 25 years ago when I first went to "the big one at Davenport" after just a few minutes I felt like we had known each other for years.
I will miss you BUDDY

I'm really sorry to hear of Del's passing, and my sincere condolences to Wanda and the family. Del and I spent five years together on the AMCA Board and he was always a straight shooter working hard for the overall benefit of our Club and our hobby. He will be missed.

I am saddened by Del’s passing. Del’s dedication to the Blackhawk’s, the Davenport meet and AMCA was an inspiration for me to become more involved with Lake Erie Chapter and National AMCA. A true gentleman that will be missed by all that knew him. Condolences to Wanda and family.

Although I did not know Del as well as some, any interaction and conversation with him was always with a positive outlook on the A.M.C.A. He always seemed to be a straight shooter and was a very down to earth person. Again from my limited interaction, I can tell he will be sorely missed throughout the club. R.I.P
