    Business founder dies of injuries from crash Richard Schiedel was 'visionary'
    by Brent Davis, Record staff

    Cambridge - The man who nurtured and grew his fledgling sod business into one of the largest in the province has died, five weeks after being critically injured in a car crash. Richard Schiedel, the founder of the Greenhorizons Group of Farms, died suddenly Saturday at Hamilton General Hospital. He was 78. The May 30 head-on collision on Highway 8 claimed the life of a 32-year-old woman from Troy, Ont. at the scene; Schiedel was airlifted to hospital. His condition had improved such that family members were preparing for him to return home in the coming days. "We thought we were on the road to recovery," said his son, Steve. Now, Schiedel's wife, Shirley, their four children Ron, Diane, Connie and Steve, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are preparing to say good-bye. Growing up in a farming family, Richard Schiedel was an innovator from the start. "He was a very forward thinker," said Ron, who has run Greenhorizons with Steve since their father's retirement in 1989. "He travelled the world to look for and find these ideas." He demonstrated that liquid nitrogen could be used in Ontario on a corn crop. He was among the pioneers in the topsoil delivery business, putting his trucks to work early in the season when the sod side of the firm was coming out of its winter slumber. Now, the company Richard founded in Cambridge in 1975 as Compact Sod also includes a mobile storage business and even a golf course in Hamilton. "He was a visionary," Steve said, "and he did what he could to encourage us." And he gave his sons the opportunity to make decisions - whether good or bad. "He let me make mistakes, even if they were costly," said Ron. "He knew I had to make them to learn." Even in his retirement, Richard Schiedel remained active in his business, and in his involvement with numerous industry, community and faith associations. An avid reader, he embraced the internet in recent years as a research tool. A family man, he always made time to support his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A bit of a sportsman, too, he got into fishing in his later years. Visitation will be held Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home in Kitchener, with a funeral Thursday at 1 p.m. at Preston Mennonite Church.

    A Tribute by David Barrie at Richard Schiedel's Memorial Service, July 8, 2010

    What a privilege to be invited to speak about my long-time friend, Dick Schiedel. 60 years…..and we have done some fun things together. Also, we have some close connections---Shirley lived one mile north of the school (Dickie Settlement) and I lived one mile south----I enjoyed having their four kids in my 4-H club.

    1954 \endash the first time the International Ploughing Match was in Waterloo County and Dick and I were in charge of the Junior Farmer tent. Dick said, "with all the potatoes grown here, let's serve potato soup!" I said, "sure, and I have the big iron kettle to make it in." To advertise, we hung purple/gold signs on every tractor pulling the wagon rides. We also put jingle signs on every highway leading to the Breslau site. "Come alone, or come in a group and have some hot, potato soup." The weather balloon we were going to fly so people could find us, never arrived in time.

    Now if you believe your success in life depends on making mistakes, and making them early, then I think I am partly responsible for his great success in business. We struck out! The highway department took down all our road signs\emdash the health department shut down our soup operation. To top it off, Hurricane Hazel destroyed everything on Friday night.
