Richard Matt Schneider

Rick is survived by his sister Cindy Stadelmaier of Furlong, PA; husband Michael, his brother Dean Schneider of Stamford, CT and nephew Lassier Davis of Tampa, FL; wife Joalyn, grandnephews Blake and Braxton.

Rick was born on August 14th 1959 in Stamford, Ct to George and Joan Schneider. He graduated from American University with a degree in Video Technology.

Rick accomplished many things over the course of his life. He was a skilled photographer and videographer, who worked lighting and cameras for live sporting events such as national tennis tournaments, professional car racing and professional baseball and even did work for the Super Bowl. He also traveled abroad to film for jobs in Scotland and Haiti. He also worked on short films for the David Letterman show in New York. In addition, he worked to film a nationally televised fishing show for many seasons.

Rick also had many talents. He was a scuba diver, tennis player and passionate about composing music and creating art. He loved composing music on his keyboard, especially Jazz and recently started composing for other instruments like cello and trumpet. He also had a passion for computer technology. He provided help desk support to anyone who needed it. He was very generous with his time, never asking to be paid, and would not rest until he figured out the problem.

Rick was a very giving person and left a big impression on the many people whose lives he touched. He will be greatly missed.

A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday February 4th at 2 p.m. at the Kraeer Funeral Home, 200 North Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Florida www.kraeerpompanobeach.net.
