I've watched the TV show" Gold Rush" since it began several years ago. John "Grandpa" Schnabel was my favorite member of the cast. He was a self-made man, a gentleman and a philosopher. He died in his sleep this morning at 96. I don't put much stock in TV characters these days but he was one of a kind. RIP.

Don't know that this is fishing related but it is an outdoors program.
Like you said he made the show real interesting. Always liked to see him on the TV show. I know his Grandson will miss him, I sure miss my Grandparents.
We really enjoyed seeing him on the show.
One of my favorites shows........
Yep.. I really enjoyed him. Seemed like a genuinely nice and pleasant man. 96 is a good run and glad he went peacefully. My condolences to the Schnabel family..
I didn't know, hate to hear it I really like seeing him when he would come on the show.
He was our favorite on the show.
Kena loved to see that old timer with his grandson .
He always had good advice through years and years of experience. Will be sadly missed by family and friends. Prayers sent. Good Luck. O - R

I'm a big fan of the show and loved the relationship between Parker and grandpa John and apparently their personalities were really similar and they looked like identical twins in old photographs......what a great legacy John left and the whole family is something to be admired!! I even watch reruns of the reruns.....sure miss the dakota boys though...wonder what happened to them (probably ran out of money!)
