For those of you who knew Daddy, you will be able to conjur up memories with the following words: fishing, wood-cutting, home-made noodles (his were the best!), cookies (ditto!), punctual, weed-free garden, canning, old-fashioned gentleman (even in the past year he would rush ahead to open the door for his girls when we'd visit), and (most-importantly) a man who knew Where he was going and Who he would see when he died. May we all have the Faith that our parents shared.

To all my family...we have lost a beloved man who will be in our hearts forever. If we could only live half the life he did we would be in a good place. We love you grandpa!!! :)

The whole England family would like to say that Rev. Schorey was a huge part of our lives as he served in Seymour, Centerville and White Heath as our Pastor and he will always be remembered. Our prayers go out to all the family members.

Dear Schorey Family,
I was sad to read of your Dad's passing. Wow 95! Time sure passes. Your folks were such nice people. I'm sure there was a very happy reunion for them.
Take care,
Robin (Hennings) Tolly

Even at 95, it's too soon for our loved ones to leave us. Reverend Schorey officiated my wedding ceremony in July 1974 at Centerville, IL. I hope his life has been a full and happy one since then. May God's comfort be with all of you in the days to come.
