He was born June 19, 1935 to Edward and Mary (MaymeBurke) Schneiderhan. He graduated from Sacred Heart High School and received his pharmacy degree from Ferris State College where he met his wife Carol Jordan at the Library.

Edward married his college sweetheart, Carol Jordan. On August 19, of this year they celebrated 60 years of marriage standing by each other in love. Their dream was fulfilled with having a large family.

It started with his first job at Bell Memorial Hospital, in Ishpeming, where Mark and Jayann were born. They moved to Laurium where Scott, Heidi, Aimee, Gretchen, Rebecca, John, and Edward were born.

While owning and operating Leo’s Drugs Store of Laurium and Lake Pharmacy of Lake Linden, together they worked hard and developed lifelong friendships as they mentored, served, and loved families within our communities for 34 years.

Being a husband, father and pharmacist were not just a job but a calling. He was an outdoors man whose passion was hunting and fishing and loved to share his adventures with family and friends. Many trips to Isle Royale, out west and fishing on the Rio Grande. After retiring, he enjoyed summers with his family in Lac La Belle and winters in Texas.
