John Schuler Obituary
John "Jack" Anthony Schuler, 89, passed away peacefully at his home on August 7, 2021. He was born in Cincinnati, OH on September 5, 1931 to the late Albert and Loretta Hais Schuler. He later moved to Lynchburg, VA where he spent much of his youth. Jack was married to the love of his life, Gail Lindsay Schuler, for 57 years. Hamden was home for just as many years. He attended Xavier University and the University of Virginia School of Law. Jack was a writer for Echlin, Inc. for many years. He wrote for the Catholic Transcript, Birthright, and many other Catholic organizations. He was also the Editor-in-Chief for Auto Merchandising News, a leading automotive trade publication. A longtime active member of Saint Joan of Arc Church, Jack was an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist and a lector at mass. Jack also regularly read books to the blind for over 15 years.
Besides his wife, Jack will be lovingly remembered by his sons, Paul Schuler of Highlands Ranch, CO, David (Arline) Schuler of Ashland, MA, and Mark Schuler of Hamden; and his grandchildren, Grace, Jacob, Liam, and Adam Schuler.
Jack was a caring and gentle man who radiated warmth and kindness to all those who knew him. He treasured his beloved wife, Gail, and raised his three boys in their family home in the wonderful neighborhood of Academy Hill in Hamden. Jack adored spending time with his family. He also loved his extensive library of books, his AM radio broadcasts, and Notre Dame football.

My deepest sympathies to Jack's wife Gail and sons Dave, Paul and Mark. Jack was the absolute best friend anyone would want to have and he will be deeply missed.
I was first introduced to Jack in 1973 when I started to work at the Echlin Manufacturing Co. in Branford. Our friendship continued and remained rock solid right to his final days.
I will always remember my last conversation with Jack when dispite difficulties in talking he said " Rich I want you to know how much I appreciated your sincere friendship over the years, thank you so much".
That was John "Jack" Schuler. He was a wonderful human being and I will miss him dearly. RIP my friend.
