AGE: 94 • Elmsford
John Scheib, 94, of Elmsford, NY, passed away on February 13, 2014, in Ossining, NY. A loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, John was devoted to his family.

Born on April 4, 1919, in New York City, to John and Bertha Scheib, John was the younger of two children, and the first college graduate in his family. After earning a degree in electrical engineering from City College of New York, John was employed as an engineer and manager for 41 years at Ward Leonard Electric Company.

He was an active member of St. Joseph of Arimathea Episcopal Church, serving as treasurer for seven years, and a member of its "sandwich brigade," providing lunches for children residing in homeless shelters. An avid Yankees fan, John loved baseball, traveling with his wife to many countries, enjoying cruises with friends, and woodworking.
