In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his brothers, Robert and William Schoff; and brother-in-law, John Eaton.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Thursday, July 25, 2019, 11:00 am at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1533 Erie Street, with Rev. Steve Varghese officiating. Entombment will follow at Holy Cross Garden Mausoleum, Hwy 32. Relatives and friends may meet with the family Thursday at the church from 9:30 am until time of Mass at 11:00 am.
