Had 4 great years working with you, talking and sharing stories about friends and family.

Thanks Beep

Dear Traci and Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so sad for your family and know you will miss him dearly.
I’m praying for your family to find peace and healing.

Dear Traci, Bo, Cam, Camille and Christi - our heartfelt condolences to all of you and to the many friends who feel deeply the loss of a wonderful man all too soon. 

I remember meeting Beep as a rambunctious 10-year old in 1976 at the Schuh home in Saranac Lakes in Florida. Beep and I shared a father who invited me to spend some time with his lovely wife Kim and a set of new siblings I had never known. The warmth, laughter and mischievous intellect that others have described were already evident in this "new" brother. We were inseparable during that visit, and thus began a relationship which spanned the years. With Beep, every visit, every conversation was an adventure punctuated by belly laughs. His imitations of our father were spot-on and highlighted the zaniest aspects of our shared bond. We will all miss his energy, his warmth and his generosity of spirit.

I met Ed while attending  many of the same conferences.  It turned out we both went to FSU in the 80s and I thought it was awesome that he played for Bobby Bowden.   We shared a lot of great stories about FSU college days while manning the booths waiting for advisors to stop by so we could sell them on whatever funds we were representing at the time.   I never knew he had a child named Bowden, that’s awesome.

I hadn’t spoken to him in years but if we were to it would of been like no time had passed.  I was sad to hear the news but I know he is in heaven now where all great people like him belong.

Beep and I connected in about 2018 as long lost cousins (thanks to 23 & Me).  His mother, whom I knew as Kimmie,  was my first Cousin, which made Beep my first cousin once removed.  We had a bunch of phone contacts and I was able to fill out a lot of Family history that he did not have.  I am deeply sad to have never met him in person, but glad to know Christi and I look forward to one day meeting Traci and his and her kids.  I am of an age that I knew his Grandfather (Bob Wadewitz), his Grandmother (Camille, aka 'Mouse') and his Great Grandparents  Edward H. and Nettie J. Wadewitz (they being my Grandparents).  I will always remember the delight we shared in our conversations about our shared family history.  His untimely passing leaves me with a great hole in my heart.  My deep condolences I send to his Sister, his Wife, and his children!  I hope to meet you all in person one day!

Like Todd Stella, Beep was an inseparable part of my childhood in Sea Ranch Lakes. The Schuh's lived a couple of doors away from us, and we spent countless hours playing street football,  riding our bikes, sharing La Spada's, and just being kids. We attended each other's birthday parties, and went to camp together in North Carolina. 

We kept in touch over the years, and Beep was always quick to reach out and offer a kind word,  most especially when my own brother passed away in 2016. I'd like to share the words he put on the memorial page for my brother - 

"Tim was the little brother I never had and a great, dear friend! As Kids, Tim and Steve were always my playmates and baseball teammates,. So many of my fondest childhood memories include "Timmy" and playing sports in the street on Saranac in SRL!

All of my love and Prayers to the entire Mergler Family.
REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER TIM!!
Beep"

It meant so much then. I hope these memories mean as much to the Schuh family. 

I'd like to end with the same quote he  closed with for my brother's memorial - 

John 14:1-3 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also"

(Beep and me at camp)

Traci, Bowden, Cameron, Camille and Christi:
On behalf of my family, I wish you all our deepest condolences and our love during this most difficult time.  I met Beep as an adult but formed a kinship with him as if we had been friends since childhood. 
 That was his magic, he just made you feel good about yourself and the friendship. Warm, intelligent, fun and generous, he was a light that you were drawn to.  Florida State football weekends will never be the same without him. He will be sorely missed and I still can't believe I will never feel one of his bear hugs ever again.  I hope the memory of his warmth and heart of gold bring you solace in this moment of pain.  Much love. 

We loved sitting with Beep at the softball games when our girls were playing softball many years ago.    He alway kept us entertained!  

Traci you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.  

I knew, Beep, my entire life.  We grew up in Sea Ranch together.  We went to Pine Crest together. We went to Cardinal Gibbons together. We went to the University of Florida together. We socialized after college together. We lost touch but when we did connect it was like we had just spoken the day before.

I have many funny stories about Beeper.  When I tell some of what my wife likes to call, “your stories” many involve, Beep.  Beep, became a legend to my friends. They believe he was a fictional character used for plot development. When beginning a childhood story some asked, “Is this a story with that guy, Beep”?  The answer was usually, “yes”. I have so many funny stories about, Beep, that this could go for pages. 

But this is my favorite:

Around 11 years old Beep and I discovered talk radio. We would call talk radio shows and pretend to be adults.  We were clearly 11-year old’s trying to put on an adult voice, I am guessing they needed callers. The objective was to get past the call screener and get on the air. Beep was great at getting on the air.  I would go in the other room and listen to Beep on the radio.  He was hilarious! He had perfected the voice of an old and foul-mouthed woman. The game was to see how many dirty words you could subtlety get on air before they hung up (we were 11-year-old boys what did you expect?).  Beep, always won. We would laugh for hours re-enacting our success over the airwaves.  Afterwards, Beep would coach me on my voice and share ideas for different characters.  Could you imagine an adult walking into that room?  One 11-year-old coaching the other on creating adult voices so they could make it past the call screener for The Alan Courtney Show on 940 WINZ radio? Fun times. Simple times. A great memory. 

I choose to remember my friend Beep with a smile on his face, a mischievous look in his eye and a unique idea in his head that was going to be fun.   

My deepest condolences to Traci, Bo, Camille and Christi

I'm so sorry for the family and dearest friends of Edward Schuh!  He was a kind man who really loved his family.  He loved and enjoyed talking about his wife Traci, his kids, siblings, football, and helping people! He was a gentle giant amongst us.   I'm truly grateful for knowing Edward in the few months of speaking with him that I was able to make an impact and give him hope.  I really enjoyed working with him and getting to know him.  
Thank you and God bless! Nick Brock


My deepest condolences to the family.  What a stunning loss of a larger than life man.  To know Beeper even a little while was to see his zest for life.  He will be missed.

I met Ed at USAA during temporary contract in 2019. We became friends quickly. Appreciated his kind words and uplifting spirit always. We discover one another were Christians, and often shared scripture through text messages and went to church a couple of times together in the fall of 2019. There are not many people like Ed, and he will be sorely missed. I am confident he is in heaven with a father and no longer have lingering physical ailments to hold him back. I’m sure he’s dancing around today. Thanks for allowing me to know Ed for the short time.

Our deepest sympathy.  Thoughts and prayers to the family during this time.

I met Beep years ago when my family would come to Sea Ranch to visit my grandparents Bob & Dee.  We would play together as kids then, when I moved to Ft Lauderdale, I first lived at 40 Seneca and we became good friends.  We spent many days fishing the Sea Ranch Lakes as well as at Bob’s River home in Palatka which we both loved.  We spent many nights carousing around town especially at the Mai Kai and other less reputable Federal Hwy locations often ending at Nick’s or his beloved Skyline.  We both subsequently moved away but reminisced often about the good old days, La Spada, Louies Diner, Jack’s Hamburgers, cook outs at the beach club.  I will miss him very much.  My condolences to Traci his children  & Christie

Beep
I had the pleasure knowing you and your family ever since you and Traci(mostly her) coached our young munchkins in soccer. I believe Traci had to take the reins as you were “banned” from the sidelines due to your “passion”. That passion and your great big kind heart will be sorely missed by this buddy. Of course the epic Christmas parties are still talked about today! 
It was certainly a blessing when our paths 
Crossed again in January. Although many life events had Since occurred you made it feel like we never missed a beat. I enjoyed our dinners and deep intellectual visits(well, you talked....I listened😎) 

Rest now my friend but I know you won’t as you’ll keep spreading Big Love to all up in the Big Sky!

Peace 
Dean McSherry

My deepest condolences to the Schuh family. Beeper, thank you for being my first big brother in this life and most of all for your amazing friendship. 
May your sweet soul fly high with the Angels. 

I was just reading in Wall Street insider that one of the titans of our industry had passed on. I recall meeting Edward at JFK while we were both on our way to Shanghai on business. Edward was a man ahead of his time and had a keen intellect for both business and interpersonal relationships. Your insight will be sorely missed my friend. 

My family moved to 16 Gate House Road in the summer of 1965..... now my niece, Chrissie Baust, lives there with her husband and 4 children....the SRL tradition continues.  I started college that fall and visited often.  I became good friends with Kim and Camille and saw a lot of them during visits home. I remember Camille was called “Mrs. Mouse” and had a mouse in the bottom of her swimming pool.  I thought that was so cool.  My sons, Shane and Clayton, would play with Robbie and Beep at the beach club.  Beep always had  that smile on his face and was such a cute, kind and funny boy.  I have never heard anyone say anything but complimentary things about Beep.  May he Rest In Peace.  My condolences to his family and friends.  Weezie Firth

I haven't seen Beep for a long time but still love the guy.  No bad memories.  We only had good times.  Beep is one of the guys that made being a kid fun.  Even though it's been a long time, I consider him one of my great friends.  Shame on me for not telling him recently.  Going to be truly missed.  Saying prayers of thanks that we shared a friendship and prayers of blessings and comfort on his family.  Goodbye Beep.

Beep, I can't believe you are gone. We chatted not to long ago about the picture I posted.  You in your red jacket at our First Communion and how your mom made you wear it to stand out.  I have other photos of you and I together as children growing up in Sea Ranch and attending Pine Crest. You will be truly missed and were loved by more people than you realized.  Love and prayers to your family.  Fly high til we meet again..  Love Mia

My prayers for the family for this sudden loss. I was blessed to have Beep as a friend through the George Burriss Bible Study and will miss him. 

To Traci, Bowden, Cameron and Camille:

I met Beep last summer, just weeks before I left Dallas for a corporate relocation. As others have written, Beep was someone with whom you'd create an inseparable bond in a very short time. He openly shared his highs and his lows. In doing so, he could make you laugh, could make you cry, and sometimes could make you cry laughing.

Beep reached out when the covid shutdown started in March. We could speak for two hours at a time by phone. It was as if we had never separated. The age difference between us was such that he seemed like a big brother and a father figure at the same time. I made him a promise that, first chance I'd get, I'd move back to Dallas.

Two weeks ago, as I was literally moving into my new home in Dallas, Beep called to ask if I had arrived. I told him I had, that the long wait was over, and that as soon as I unpacked I'd give him a call. It was the last conversation we'd ever have.

As all who knew him can attest, one of his distinct characteristics was an appreciation for all faiths. He once showed me the multiple religious pendants he wore simultaneously. I take comfort knowing that one (or more) of them has now claimed him. 

Truly, 
             

Beeper was a true American original... we first met at Cash Hall in the Fall of 1984. He was a very easy person to get to know. We even lived together for a semester off campus and while it seemed like a great idea, it wasn’t BUT boy was it ever fun! Tim O’Shaughnessy, Beep, Mike Bell and I started the Snake Pit as a joke yet it soon became wildly popular across our campus and also other campuses in the region.  We were also brothers together at Pi Kappa Alpha. The Beeper I choose to remember was the guy who was generous, the guy who loved to laugh, the story teller as well as the “story” teller but all in all, a man that loved his family and friends and underneath it all, was a really good person. RIP Beep

Beep and I played football together at FSU in the 80’s and were brothers in PiKA. He was always excited, always happy, and always kind. God rest his soul.

Beep my brother you are gone to soon. We met twenty years ago at a Mavs game and became inseparable after that. Your zest for life family and sports were second to none. Me knowing your personally makes this a little easier because on top of all that I know your faith was strong and your connection with God was a must . Knowing you are in no pain and watching over us gives some relief but still heartbroken your gone brother. Long live Florida State Beep, you are gone but never forgotten. Yes we will keep an eye on Traci, Cam ,Camille, and Bo.
