CHARLES SCHOENE Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 13, 2011.
Charles O. Schoene, 95, passed away on November 9, 2011 at The Sweet Life of Shawnee. Charlie was born on February 27, 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri. He was the son of Otto and Marie Schoene and brother to Mary and Helen Schoene, all of whom preceded him in death. Charlie served our country during WWII as a Merchant Marine aboard the Liberty ship Amelia Earhart. He worked as the Chief Radio operator, a position he held proudly. He continued his love of the Ham Radio for many years after, often staying up all night talking to people around the world. He began his career here in Kansas City selling small appliances for Glasgo Electric. Later, he became an electrician and worked for the Remington Arms Corporation at the Lake City Munitions Plant. One of Charlie's many hobbies was target shooting and was a member of the Pioneer Gun Club for many years. Charlie loved to travel and see the country. Photography was also a hobby and Charlie took incredible pictures of his trips to the Southwest, West and Northwest. The Lake of the Ozarks was also a favorite destination. At home, he loved to read, tinker with thrift store electronics, machinery, and typewriters, listen to music and eat out with friends. Survivors include his long time friends, Forrest and Martha Brooks and Mark and Mary Brooks. No services are planned. Charlie will be laid to rest in St. Louis. We wish to thank the entire staff of The Sweet Life at Shawnee for their love and care of Charlie. We also want to thank the Odyssey Hospice for their help and kindness. Charlie, you will be missed for your wonderful sense of humor. Knowing you has made all of our lives fuller. See you subsequently.
