Joseph Schiel Obituary

Schiel, Jr., Joseph John 59, St. Louis, MO. June 13, 2016. Lived his life passionately loving his best friend and wife, providing graciously for his two children, and setting an example of generosity, fun and leadership to family and friends. He is survived by his wife, whom he called the glue of the family, Janet Wallace Schiel, his two sons, Luke and Blake Schiel, his parents, Joseph Schiel, Sr. and Dorothy Schiel, and four of his siblings: John Schiel, Rosemary Bradford, Cathy Deane, and Ed Schiel; he is preceded by his brother, Tom Schiel. Services: A Memorial Mass will be held at 11:00AM on Friday, June 17, at Incarnate Word Catholic Church, with a visitation starting at 10:30AM. In honor of his life, we ask that contributions be made in Joe's name to the Evans Scholars Foundation, which he credited with putting him through college and setting his path on a long, successful career that blessed his family with all they could wish for.

To The Schiel family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only met Joe one time but I heard much about Joe from his little brother Tom who was one of my very best friends before he passed. Tom had great admiration and respect for his big brother Joe. Tom lived his life wanting to be like Joe and from what I've read from other people today, Joe deserved that respect. It sounds like he was a wonderful man and a wonderful leader. Mr. And Mrs. Schiel should be so proud to have raised such a fine man. They say behind every successful man is a strong and supportive woman and I'm sure that describes Joe's wife... I wish I would have had more time to be around all of the Schiel family as I have great respect for their character.
My sincere condolences to you all.

My sincere condolences & prayers to your entire family. Joe took a chance & hired me at a very critical time in my life. I will be forever grateful for that. He was a great manager, leader & friend that you always knew you could count on. My fondest memories were of my times working for Joe at Sanofi. He always talked with pride of his wife and boys. Rest in peace!
