Schmidt, William C. (Bill), age of 68, of Trinity, FL (originally Cincinnati, OH), died March 16, 2018. He is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years, Patricia (Patti) Schmidt, and was the cherished father of Laura and Brian.
He is also survived by his loving sister Janet Schermerhorn, sister-in-law Donna Schmidt, brothers-in-law Michael (Judy) Labanz, C. Nicholas Labanz, and Joe Labanz. He was preceded in death by his brother Robert (Donna) Schmidt, and parents Harold and Elda Schmidt.
Bill was a dedicated public servant of 38 years with the Hamilton County Juvenile Court of Cincinnati, OH. Throughout his life, he was also actively involved in local politics and numerous church ministries in service to his community. His infectious, yet dry sense of humor will continue to live on in all who knew and loved him.

Dear Patti,
We will always remember Bill for his strong commitment to his family and friends. We remember how much he loved you, and how he got up late at night to go shopping for you at school. True love. He was a role model for all of us. We cannot believe that we will no longer see him. He will be truly missed. We will always remember his faith filled life. We know that he is now enjoying his eternal life in heaven. We will keep him and you in our prayers. If there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know. We love you very much.
