It’s October 31st, 2009, and it’s officially Tim Schickedanz Day in Saginaw, TX. Well deserved, unfortunately it’s Posthumous. 
I was fortunate enough to know Tim for about eight years, as a nurse in our ED. Hard working, friendly, funny and competent, we were nearly instant work-friends due to our military backgrounds.
We weren’t really close, and that’s my loss. A really terrific guy, with a loving wife and four kids.
Again proving the ED cynicism, such a good person with a job and a loving family and a lot of friends died quickly when he fell ill. He’s missed, by all of us.
There’s a Facebook page for him (Friends of Tim Schickedanz).
Terrific people touch our lives daily, and you don’t notice until they’re gone. I’ll try to do better.
Thank you for caring.
