In Celebration of

Clarence Bradley Schneller

June 3, 1930 -  June 21, 2024

Clarence Bradley Schneller passed away peacefully at home in Mississauga on June 21, 2024.

Brad was born on June 3, 1930 in Baden, Ontario, the son of the late Edna and Wilfred Schneller. He was predeceased by his sister Marion.

He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Sandra, daughter Ann, son David (Susanne), grandsons Jake and Evan and 9 nieces and nephews and their children.

Brad was a proud graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, OAC ‘53. After graduation he went on to a 36 year long career with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. He obtained a Master’s degree from Cornell University.

His passions were spending time in his garden, travelling, woodworking and collecting antiques. Family genealogy and history were also areas of great interest to him and he loved researching, sharing pictures, records and artefacts with a vast network of contacts both near and far.

Brad was a curling member of the Mississaugua Golf and Country Club and was able to continue curling into his late eighties.

He was an active participant in Probus, the Erindale Village Association and worked tirelessly to preserve history, especially his log cabin and the Erindale Community Hall. He also enjoyed volunteering at the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame.

He will be dearly missed.

Family and friends will be received at Turner & Porter Neweduk Erin Mills Chapel, 1981 Dundas St West, Mississauga on Wednesday July 3rd, 2024 from 2 - 4 pm. and 7 - 9 pm. followed by private family arrangements at a later date.

Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Brad are asked to consider the Trillium Health Partners or a charity of their choosing.

I will miss my cousin, since we both enjoyed looking into our Niergarth family tree. I missed an opportunity to visit Bradley while living in Buffalo, N.Y. I am truly sorry about his passing. David Sieberns

Sandra, my thoughts are with you and your family. Brad was a great connector for/to so many people, including his email updates on former colleagues and friends. During a three-year stint in Home Economics Branch at UofG, my office was with Communications Branch in Johnson Hall. That gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with Brad. After that, he was always interested in my career path.
Treasure all the memories that you share with others!

Dear Sandra & family:
I was saddened to hear of Brad’s passing. Such a fine man, husband, Father and Grandfather. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of you and Brad. My son, Scott knew your son, Dave at Woodlands Secondary School and McMaster. He too sends his condolences. I loved it when Brad would show me his garden with pride. I always enjoyed your annual Crafts in the Cabin. It was so much fun and crafts were so expertly done. Keep well.
Love, Maxine❤️

Sorry to hear of Brad’s passing. We were so thankful that we were able to visit and share some memories last summer on our travels out east. Brad did a great job in researching our family tree. Always enjoyed Brad and Sandra’s hospitality.
