Surnames: Schmidt, Swan, Wilson, Osborne, Scher Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UW.2ADI/1957 Message Board Post: Christopher Alan Schmidt Christopher Alan Schmidt of Loma Mar, known as "Schmidty" to friends, died Sept. 20 at Kaiser Hospital in Redwood City at age 48, having lost his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Mr. Schmidt was born in Pleasanton and raised in Fremont. In 1974, he moved to Loma Mar, and for the past 25 years had dedicated himself to working at and running the YMCA Camp Jones Gulch in La Honda, eventually as facility director. His goal in his work there, said his family, was to "help ensure that camp was a wonderful place for thousands of children to come, learn and discover about the joys of life." Mr. Schmidt and his wife, Gwen Swan, shared what she called "an awesome love" for each other. Avid fans of the San Francisco Giants, they were season-ticket holders who seldom missed a game. For several years, Mr. Schmidt also played on the Loma Mar Slugs softball team. He also loved Corvette automobiles, television's "Star Trek" and actress Marilyn Monroe. And he loved his home. He felt like there was no better place to live than the town of Loma Mar, his family said. Mr. Schmidt is survived by wife of 16 years, Gwen Swan of Loma Mar, who is part owner of the Coastside Land Surveying company located in Half Moon Bay. He is also survived by his parents David and Phyllis Schmidt of Fremont, his brother Mark Schmidt, his mother-in-law Norma Swan of Concord, his aunt and uncle Jackie and Bill Wilson of Fremont, and cousins Stephen Osborne, David Osborne and Jessica Scher. A memorial gathering will be held on Friday, Oct. 8 at 3 p.m. at the YMCA Camp Jones Gulch in La Honda, followed by a reception at Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests gifts in Mr. Schmidt's name to the YMCA Camp Jones Gulch or to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
