Cathy, Claire, and I were saddened to hear of Mikes passing. I know we are a year late, I only found out when an email to Mike was undeliverable and Claire searched for an explanation. It’s hard to believe he is gone, he always put 100% into anything he tackled.

Mike and I were friendly competitors for years in Dallas. We both were active in the NACCB (National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses) at both the Local Chapter and National level. We both retired about the same time. I moved to Beavercreek and Mike moved to the Aspen area. Claire and I, and Cathy and Mike often stayed at each other’s mountain homes. Skiing each other’s favorite ski runs was fun for us all. After Mike and Cathy, we kind of lost touch with each other. Mike and I would exchange email jokes and at first talked on the phone occasionally In addition to Mike and I being friends we invested in several land deals together. I will miss him.

I remember Mike setting up for TRUU services in the Calaway room not by unpacking them from the dolly, but by flinging them several feet out in the room. Didn't hurt the chairs any; they had metal frames. But Mike's strength and energy sure impressed me. I loved his humor, and so appreciated everything Mike and Cathy brought to Two Rivers UU (TRUU). Many of those things are still here in Carbondale.

The Tomaskovic family of Carbondale, CO sends their deepest sympathy to all of Mike's family. We are saddened to hear about his illness and death. We got to know Mike and Cathy through attending services and various activities at TRUU. Coincidentally (?), some of the pictures from our family photo collection appeared a couple of days ago showing our twin boys whooping it up at a sledding party on the hill behind Mike and Cathy's home at Ruedi Shores in March 2011. How like them to organize such a fun event! Thank you for helping to create many wonderful memories.

Dear Cathy,
It has been awhile since we last saw you and Mike but we inquired often about you both. We were so saddened to hear that Mike passed away. While you were here with us in Colorado we had the privilege of spending time with you both. Doug and I so enjoyed our time skiing and playing tennis with the always cheerful and warm Mike. We will always remember him fondly. Our deepest condolences to you. Best regards, Nina and Doug Factor

We loved Mike and are so sorry he is gone. We were just getting to know him and Cathy when he got sick. He was such a smart, accomplished person, whose sense of humor we loved. We thank him and Cathy for leaving us the Circle Suppers at UU which bring us closer to each other in community. Cathy, please call us when you want friends around,,💕💕💕💕💕Dina and Jeff

I have already written, but I wanted to add one memory. On certain Sunday mornings, Mike would show up at our UU services sporting all his Denver football clothes— Broncos shirt, hat, socks, whatever he had. What a fan!
Cathy, I send virtual hugs and lots of love from Carbondale. 💕💕

Chris and I are greatly saddened to learn that the irrepressible Mike Schermer is no longer out there skiing, playing tennis, loving his family and generally making the world a better place. Cathy and Mike were irreplaceable founding members of Two Rivers Unitarian Universalist congregation (TRUU) in Carbondale, CO. Mike worked hard and played hard and did it all with a big, generous heart. It was a privilege and a pleasure to call him a friend! We send love and sympathy to Cathy and all the family.
