JOSEPH ROY SCHREINER
Joe was born Dec. 5, 1934, in Max, ND, to Herman and Lucille Lakoduk Schreiner. His family moved from North Dakota to Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA, area in 1942.
Joe served in the Navy from 1952 to 1955, taking pride in his service during the Korean war. Afterwards, he worked in auto body repair, attending night classes to earn his Associates Degree, then beginning a long career as an estimator with State Farm Insurance. He took an early retirement in 1995 so he could enjoy the beach, clamming, fishing and traveling in his motor home. He loved the frequent motor home trips made with one of his brothers. For many years he enjoyed metal detecting. He was passionate about feeding his squirrels and birds daily. He called the squirrels his “beggars” as they were always at the dining room window wanting walnuts.
Joe met his wife Sharonn while attending school in Vancouver. After his military duty ended, they married in 1956. He was preceded in death by his parents; several siblings; and his wife, Sharonn in 1986. He is survived by his children, Marlys Cameron (Tim), Glynis Stevens (Ben Dynes) and Gladys Schreiner (Wayne Harrington); grandchildren, Dena Christie (Mike), Annie Hutson (Joe), Christi David (Jason Collier) and William Stevens (Leslie Alden), numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

Yes, I remember
It was on the mourn
That I saw a ship a sailing
The sea was calm
The winds were fair
Joe was young
And he was at the rail
With shipmates once again.---rs

I'll sure miss my cousin Joe. He was a good friend and confidant. We had much in common and shared many view points. I especially appreciate all the diligent work he did researching the Lakoduk family history, and it was at no small expense to himself. He always and willingly shared the information his research revealed, to anyone interested and willing to listen and appreciate it. He is surly at peace now.
