We are deeply saddened to hear of John’s passing. He was truly a pillar of Downtown Rome and his impact will never be forgotten. He will be missed more than words can say. Sending all our love and prayers to his family and everyone at Schroeder’s New Deli.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a vital part of our restaurant and our community. John touched the lives of so many - through music, food, and his love and empathy for others. He will be greatly missed by many.
Please keep the Schroeder family, staff, and friends in your thoughts as we navigate this difficult time and honor the legacy of someone who meant so much to so many.
