RIP Bill Schnittman Submitted by: Nathan Bohn (December 23, 2012)
The rower pictured here (Bill Schnittman) was a former Michigan rower and current rower at the Chesapeake boathouse in OKC. He was tragically murdered by the ex-husband of his current girlfriend on Friday morning in Oklahoma City. His sense of humor and larger-than-life personality will always be remembered by all those who have ever met him. His passion for the sport of rowing and, really, life in general were second to none.
So, on behalf of the friends and family of Michigan Rowing, I would like to submit this photo in loving memory of Bill Schnittman and to recognize the love, dedication, and joy he brought to the rowing community and to the lives of all those who knew him.
