I met Mr. Schwarz in 1989, he was a mentor and a friend. He offered to help me an engineering student at the time with homework & to better understand the concepts of math and engineering. For 2 yrs he met with me at the Abington Library. It is because of him I was able to graduate and move on with a successful life. I last saw him when I returned from the war in Iraq; we sat and talked for quite awhile, recalling how we met and what he had been up to over the years. I credit a lot of my academic drive to him and thanked him for his selfless devotion to help a kid from the islands who he met at the cash register in the local supermarket.
I never was able to meet any of his children, but I did meet his wife once. He was extremely intelligent and I am sorry to hear of his passing. I am sure that he lived a fulfilled life.
Thank you very much Mr. Schwarz for what you have done for me.
