IN MEMORIAM

We remember and honor those Codgers who are no longer with us.



There is only one way to understand a lonely bench in a park:
Sit on it; watch whatever it is watching; listen to whatever it is listening to! Sit in spring, sit in winter, sit in summer, sit in fall. To understand something deeply, you need to sit on it and live its life! As we dedicate this bench, may those that sit on it see serendipitous and joyous play. May we also find moments to just be and rest amid our play on this bench. And let us give thanks for those who have gone before us and who remind us of the fun and friendship that is Codger ball. Amen. 
Bob Naylor, November 11, 2023 dedicating the Cape Codgers Memorial Bench

DAVID SCHNEIDER

  • His obituary beautify captures who Dave was ... "humble, modest, and deeply grounded ... a man of quiet strength, known for his self-effacing nature, thoughtful spirit, and dry sense of humor."
  • When I entered the league in 2010 Dave was coach and pitcher of the "A" team (now known as Mulcahy Chiropractic). I believe he would have been about 67 at the time, yet he was extremely competitive and more importantly, one of the nicest guys in the league.
