In Remembrance Of
Lenny Schaeffer
Leonard G. “Lenny” Schaeffer, 70, went to be with his God on April 9, 2020 at Oakridge of Plattsburg. He is formally from Sentinel Butte, ND.
Lenny was a substitute grandpa, friend or confidante to the kids at the Co-Op in Wilbaux, MT and to his “girls” at St. Benedict’s in Dickenson, ND. Lenny built a very strong bond with most, if not all of them. You would never see him out and about without his cowboy hat on.
He was preceded in death by his parents Theodore “Ted” and Melva (Hamilton) Schaeffer.
Lenny will be greatly missed by his sister Penny Obrigewich, Wilbaux, MT; his children Nathan Schaeffer, Hamilton, MO, Staci (Kevin) Ireland, Trenton, MO and Candice (Lee) Hanks, Gower. MO; grandchildren Natalie and Blake Schaeffer, Taurren (Jacob) Bottcher, Trisha (Ivan) Greenwood, Trent (Cassie) Ireland, and Allyson and Matthew Hanks; great-grandchildren Emilyn, Elkie, Rex, Nellie, Naason, Grace and Macklyn; nephews Beau, Ryan, Clay, Shane, Dakota and Dalton; other relatives and many friends.
No services will be held.

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, and brother,
Leonard was a beam of sunshine in the hearts of all who met him. He was a good friend to all of us who graduated with him in the class of ’67. In recent years, several of us reconnected with him at class reunions and at St Benedict. We will treasure our visits..full of stories and his hearty laugh! God bless his memory. Peace be with you all. Carol and Bill Sheldon

So sorry for your loss. I spent a lot of time, in my school years, with Candice at their home. Lenny always had a smile and treated me as one of his own. Lenny always made the “perfect pancakes”. Prayers for all of his family.

Staci and Candice, I am so sorry for your lost! Hugs and prayers to you and the rest of the family! I remember alot of fun times when your parents hung out with my Aunt Debby and Uncle Stan back in the 70’s. Your dad was such a nice guy. Always smiling or laughing. I loved going to the farm and riding horses and playing in the barn.
