Hello Everyone, This is Toni Schlader. John's youngest daughter. I don't know if many of you know but, he had a heart attack 10 years ago that ended in him having triple bypass surgery. He's done well for a long time and it appears the work done then is all clogged and backed up. Last night around 2:30 am he suffered a major heart attack. He has had two surgeries so far and is now in a drug induced coma. He's in ICU and his chest is open covered only by a dressing because his heart is so swollen. Everytime they closed him up his heart would stop. That's when they put him in the coma and he will be like that for approximately 3 days. I've not seen him yet but will asap tomorrow. I'm asking that you all keep dad and Rita in your thoughts and prayers. If anyone would like to contact me for information you may reach me at tonis1011@gmail.com. I am also a member here under tonischmidtschlader. I think. Still figuring this out. Thanks Everyone, Toni |

How nice of you to think of his friends here during such a difficult time Toni. John is sure blessed to have such a nice daughter. I'll sure pray for him from Montana.

I took my first long ride on a Valkyrie with John to Inzane in Paducha. He never fails to rib me about getting lost in Nashville due to my GPS. I sure hope I'll be getting lost with him on another ride soon!!
Is someone watching out for Rita? Hang in Toni. All good thoughts for the Schmidt Family.
