JOHN H. JR. "JACK", passed away February 17, 2015 after a long struggle with lung disease with his loving wife by his side.
Born in St. Albans NY, to John H. Schuerger and Veronica Lieber, he graduated from St. John's Prep and Cornell in 1957.
Jack leaves behind a son, John H Schuerger III (Kellie); 2 grandsons, Kyle and Evan; stepchildren, Dale M. Alton, James D. Alton, Elizabeth Alton, and Edward D. Alton (Dierdre) and 2 step- grand-children, Devin and Alexis. He was predeceased by his first wife, Mary Louise Bruckner and his son, Robert.
Jack's passions included sailing, golfing, and traveling the world with his wife, Virginia Dyer Schuerger. He was active in their community at Hersheys' Mill in West Chester PA. Jack will be remembered for his fierce determination, quiet strength, and generous spirit.
A Mass and celebration of his life will be held later this Spring. Donations may be made to the American Lung Society.

Dear Schuerger Family:
Please accept our deep and sincere condolences on your loss. Jack was my late husband Matt's sales manager at Tozour Trane and always treated Matt with kindness. He was a model of integrity. Jackand Matt shared many wonderful sailing trips and we were thrilled to have Jack at our wedding. We were blessed to have his continued friendship.
Please let me know when Jack's Mass is scheduled as I would like to be present to celebrate his life.
