His dog Blondi loved him.
Children adored him.
Well, maybe not all children, but hey, nobody's perfect.

Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, the well-known forensic pathologist and coroner of Allegheny County, Pa., told listeners of a morning radio show that he was denied permission to observe Terri Schiavo's autopsy, despite the wishes of her parents.
A medical examiner in Pinellas County, Florida, is conducting an autopsy that could help determine what Schiavo's state of consciousness was and whether she was abused by her husband, as the Schindlers allege. Wecht, appearing on the syndicated America's Morning Show with Quinn and Rose, based in Pittsburgh, said that an investigator working for the Schindler's law firm had called him on Thursday to see whether he would be agreeable to observing the autopsy.
Dr. Wecht told Quinn and Rose he was certainly be agreeable to that, but that several hours later he received word that the medical examiner had declined to give him permission.
Dr. Wecht told the morning hosts that he considered this a mistake, according to Rose Somma Tennent. "He said that, if this were in [his] office, [he] would have said sure - not just because of professional courtesy, but because of the controversy sourrounding this case," Somma Tennet said.
Calls made during the show to the medical examiner's office were not returned.
The results from the autopsy are expected in a few weeks.

I hope hell has an especially hot place for Schiavo and his ablers. This is just another notch in his gun. Damn him.
Yes, the smell of death, Terri's and that of the USA.
Do you mean county, or country - thinks they're doing a bang-up job? You know, if the Feds went in and crashed David Karesh's party, why don't they investigate the criminal goings-on in this county -- i mean, the gov. is pres. bush's brother, for pete's sake. and i'm a bush supporter. What's it gonna take -- a huge petition signed by everyone for jeb and george to seriously look into this thing? i know, according to the blog "empire journal" some guy from texas has filed a suit with the DOJ against felos, greer and schiavo. this is serious stuff and it better be investigated before they do more damage!

I don't believe he was a nurse at the time of Terri's collapse.
He had been a manager of a restaurant at the time. But I think he may have had some training as a paramedic, but I may be wrong about that. He evidently had been trained in CPR when Terri collapsed, but did not give her CPR.
