Louis J. Schneider Jr. ’43

Louis Schneider, a former justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, died Dec. 15, 1999, of pneumonia. He was 78.

A legal scholar whose writings were praised by judges and lawyers alike, Schneider served in all three branches of government as well as the US Army for four years in WWII.

After graduating from Princeton, he went on to the U. of Cincinnati law school. From 1951-59, he served in the Ohio legislature and for the next four years as a Hamilton County commissioner.

Lou's outside interests included music, especially organ music; being an avid reader and productive writer; extensive activity in the work of the Masonic Order, in which he was a rare 33rd degree Mason; and membership in numerous civic and fraternal organizations.

His wife, the former Ann Kirkendall, preceded him in death. Survivors include daughters Carol Newitt and Nancy Rolfs, a son, Thomas, and five grandchildren.

To the entire family, we offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
