Richard Schuler Obituary
Richard "Dick" Schuler Jr., age 69, of Adrian, MI, passed away January 3, 2024, at Hospice of Lenawee. He was born October 8, 1954, in Toledo, OH, to Richard and Beverly (Boddy) Schuler Sr. Dick was an extremely hard worker from a very young age, beginning with his first job as a paper boy to scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins. He forged a career as a skilled electrician and was a member of IBEW Local 8. Dick went on to become a project manager, traveling across the United States overseeing the construction of various casinos and event centers. He absolutely loved his career.
Dick was a sports enthusiast. He was inducted into the Whitmer Hall of Fame for his football prowess. He enjoyed nearly all sports, especially golf, football and wrestling. Dick cheered for his favorite teams of O.S.U. and Detroit Lions, and loved watching and playing golf. Above all, he cherished watching his children and grandchildren participate in sporting events.
Dick loved warmer climates and his favorite travel destination was Florida where he was fortunate enough to have a second home in Naples. He also enjoyed cruising the Caribbean and down the Danube River.
His family will miss his Saturday morning car wash and detailing service of whatever car was parked in his driveway. They will always remember his daily exclamation of "Make today the Best Day Ever".
Dick is survived by his wife, Vickie Schuler; children, Derrick R. (Stephanie) Schuler, Dean A. Schuler, Dale R. Schuler, and Kali (Anthony) Stidham; step-children, Joshua Vergote, Abby Vergote, Justin (Helena) Snyder, and Brandon (Elle) Snyder; grandchildren, James R. Schuler, Stella Schuler, Preston Schuler, Noah Schuler, Ava Stidham and Juliana Stidham; step- grandchildren, Jayden, Haley, Ava, Axil, Avery and Camryn; siblings, Suzanne (John) Lauch and Penny (Tom) Hall; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Dick was a welcomed addition to our condo community in Naples, FL. We all wish he had been here far into the future. Dick was optimistic, engaging and had perservance. He always had a smile and a good story and our community is left better for knowing him. We all have lost a bright light.
