It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Louis Anthony Schultz at King City Lodge...just 19 days short of his 95th birthday.
Louis was born in Jakšić, Croatia on June 10, 1927...under a tree. It's not actually true as it was his mother who was born under a tree, but he enjoyed telling people that. Louis was a man who lived life to the fullest, a man to whom laughter was always the best medicine. He often said he always wanted to be a comedian, but people just laughed at him. He once remarked that he had a good life, was very satisfied with his life, and if he should die tomorrow, well...he could live with that.
Louis is survived by his wife of 19 years Helen, sister Helen Jagodic (Walter predeceased), brother Jerry Schultz (Jenny) and predeceased by brother George Schultz. Father to daughter Susan Wilby and sons Ken Schultz (Sheila) and Don Schultz (Gail), stepdaughters Mary Walsh (Jerry) and Janie O'Brien (Al predeceased) and predeceased by stepson Brian Mouldey. Louis was blessed with 9 grandchildren: Melissa, Kevin and Samantha Schultz, Michael and Mark Eels, Lacey and Laura Walsh, Corey and Shane O'Brien; and 5 great grandchildren: Leona Walsh, Carter, Lennox, Holly and Stevie O'Brien. Also grieving our loss are many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at King City Lodge for taking such good care of Louis.
A celebration of Louis' life will take place on Saturday August 13, 2022 from 2 to 4 pm; location: W. John Thomas Funeral Home, 244 Victoria St. E., Alliston, ON; 705-435-5101
