Richard Schneider Obituary
Richard graduated from Denby High School in 1952. Following graduation, he worked at a stamping plant in Detroit for five years, then spent 35 years as an industrial engineer at Chrysler.
While working at Chrysler, he married Linda R. Black. They settled in Grosse Pointe Woods and celebrated 55 years of marriage in June.
Richard was predeceased by his parents. In addition to his wife, Linda R. Schneider, Richard is survived by his son, Matthew J. Schneider (Elizabeth A. Oppenheim); brother, John R. Schneider; nephews, Kurt J. Schneider (Betsy) and Erich J. Schneider (Meghan); and niece, Kristen L. Van Pelt (Tom). Richard also is survived by several great-nieces and great-nephews.
An avid golfer, Richard started golfing at age 9, and golfed in a league with his friends and family until age 83. Richard was a devoted and loving husband and father and also loved animals, especially his dog, Frankie. Richard was a newspaper carrier in his youth, which resulted in him becoming a voracious reader.
A service of remembrance in Richard's honor took place at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Grosse Pointe Farms.
Memorial donations in Richard's honor are appreciated to the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society, 296 Chalfonte, Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236, gpaas.org/donate; or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude’s Place, Memphis, TN 38105, stjude.org/.
