Arno B. Schury D.O.
Frankenmuth, MI
Dr. Arno Benjamin Schury passed away August 8, 2019. Arno was born January 15, 1932 in Flint Michigan to Selma Marie (Schiefer) Schury and Benjamin John Schury.
Arno attended school at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Flint Northern High School and Michigan State University. He attended Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Kirksville, Missouri. He completed his internship at Saginaw Osteopathic Hospital in 1958. After his internship, he started a private family practice with his partner, Dr. Jack Quarters, in Carrollton, Michigan. In 1973 he bought Dr. Roepers practice in Frankenmuth. His office was located at the old bank building which is now part of Fenton Home Furnishings. In 1981 he moved his practice to a new office he built on West Genessee Street. In 1998 he joined the St. Mary’s Physicians team. After 43 years of practice he retired on June 30, 2000. It was a tough decision for him to make. His patients were a large part of his life and he missed them.
He was faithful member of St. Lorenz Lutheran Church and a past President of St. Lorenz Lutheran School Board of Education. He was a member of Frankenmuth Lions Club, Frankenmuth Conservation Club and the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce.
Arno was a member of many professional organizations. He belonged to the American Osteopathic Association, Michigan Osteopathic Association delegate for 30 years, the MOA OMT committee, Medicaid Liaison Committee, Osteopathic Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Imaging Liaison Committee, past President of the Saginaw County Osteopathic Society, past President Michigan Association of Family Practitioners, Wellspring (Frankenmuth Lutheran Home) Medical Director, Department of Social Service Medical Services Administration, past President of the Michigan Chapter National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
He loved fly fishing, photography, Bridge, hunting, traveling and not so much skiing but loved the snow and the outdoors so he pursued it.
Arno and Janice Helen (Trombley) were married in 1960. October 29th would have been their 59th wedding anniversary.
He is survived by his wife and children; Lori (Herminio) Gonzalez, Kristi (Dr. Mark) Gugel and Dr. Mark (Susan) Schury. He has 8 grandchildren; Justin Gonzalez, Allison (Evan) Davis, Maximilian Gugel, Benjamin Gugel, Sophia Gugel, Connor Schury, Keaton Schury and Carter Schury. Also survived by his sister Ruth (Charles) Meyka.
Arno loved God, his family, his friends, colleagues and will be truly missed by all who know him.

Dear Schury Family,
My deepest sympathies on Dr. Schury's passing. He was my doctor for over 20 years. Not only was he a great doctor but a wonderful human being also! He was very open to discussing treatment options with me and letting his patients get involved in their own care. I know I will miss him.

Dr, Schury attended when my mother passed away and I cannot think of a more professional, compassionate, and thoughtful gentleman than he was at that difficult moment, as quick to comfort and share kind words, as he was to share his medical knowledge. May God comfort you in your loss.

Lori and family,
May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times as you celebrate your dad's life that was not only well lived but so much given to others as a community physician. My thoughts and prayers go out to your mom and your family.

Many memories of twice a year at the MAOFP Meetings. I think I have known him for at least 20 years. A wonderful man and I just wanted to let the family know that I have them all in my prayers. Hold your memories tight. You will be missed. Kim Camp, MSUCOM

Arno was a great calming influence on my mother. I will never forget his visits to our house. He seemed always accepting of the situation no matter what it was.

A kinder and gentler doctor will not be found. He was a good friend as well as a good doctor. We missed him when he retired. Rest in peace and our sympathy to Jan and the family.
