Carl John Schaefer, 88, of Mt. Pleasant, PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by family. He was born on August 15, 1936, in Glen Dale, WV, and was preceded in death by his parents, Franz Joseph and Marie, and his brother, Joseph. Carl married the love of his life, Amelia "Amy" Ruth Wheatley on February 27, 1965. They recently celebrated 60 wonderful years of marriage-a lifetime of love, laughter, and unwavering companionship. Carl truly loved life, but nothing more than his "sweetie" Amy. Carl was a proud father to five children: Franz Alexander (Janet), Carl Gregory (Miriam), Michael Vincent (Liz), Monika Therese Soles (Robb), and Kandida Maria Dawson (Al). His legacy lives on through his children, eleven grandchildren (Max, Tom, Ann, Angela, Carlos, Rielly, Mikias, Luke, Zac, Sylvia, Abigale) and one great granddaughter (Amelia), who will always remember his kindness, wisdom, and humor. A skilled tool & die maker by trade, Carl worked for the Louis Marx Toy Company, Kentucky Electronics, Radiation Inc., and Volkswagen. Outside of work, he could be found searching for hidden gems at flea markets, antique shops, and second-hand stores - always on the hunt for a good bargain. He was known for his keen eye for collectibles, as well as his excitement in sharing stock tips with anyone willing to listen. Carl found joy in the simple pleasures: sitting on his back porch watching the deer, telling stories to his grandchildren, and sneaking cookies whenever he could. His warmth, curiosity, and love for life's little treasures made a lasting impression on all who knew him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered. Family and friends will be received from 2-4,6-8 P.M. Tuesday in the BROOKS FUNERAL HOME, INC., 406 E. Washington St., Mount Pleasant where a Blessing Service will be held on Wednesday at 9:30 A.M. followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:00 A.M. in St. Pius X Roman Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the St. Vincent dePaul Society in memory of Carl John Schaefer.
