Paul Schold Obituary
Paul H. Schold
August 29, 2022
On Monday August 29, Paul H. Schold succumbed to a courageous battle with cancer that began 6 years ago. The battle was well-fought with his army of doctors that guided him as he navigated his illness without receiving chemotherapy.
Graveside services are 2:00 p.m. Friday, September 9, at Rock Island National Cemetery. Those wishing to attend should meet in the parking lot of Trimble Pointe, 701 12th Street, Moline, at 1:45 p.m.
Paul was born in Moline, to Paul and Angela (Giovenazzo) Schold. He graduated class of 1966 at United Township HS, attended Blackhawk College, the University of Montana, and graduated from University of Illinois in Urbana. He attended post-graduate studies at Utah State University, specializing in Landscape Architecture. He was employed by McLaughlin Body Company in Moline as ISO Coordinator and Warranty Admin for 23 years, retiring in 2020.
Paul served in the U.S. Navy from 1967-1973 as a US Navy Aviation Electrician attached to Carrier Air Wing 17; Early Warning Squadron VAW-123, serving on 4 aircraft carriers.
He enjoyed fishing, camping, photography, hunting, and travel. His friends Beau, Bo, and Benny ensured that his recent years were spent making meaningful memories, hunting, fishing, and having fun while completing his bucket list! Paul was blessed with his circle of lifetime close friends, and his faithful cat, Miss Kitty who loved him so much!
Brother, Sam (Nancy) Schold, and Sister, Cathi (Mark) Dorr will miss him dearly and will continue to look up at his chosen star to share a smile and a hug until our spirits are reunited again.
Paul's destiny on earth is now complete, he will continue to watch over all of his beloved family and friends forever in spirit.

To the family of Paul, I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Paul at McLaughlin from about 1996-2007. He was always such a pleasure to work with, was dedicated to his work and had such an easy/relaxed way about him. I enjoyed our conversations and felt a kinship with him, as we grew up in the same neighborhood in East Moline. His family home was located across the street from my grandparents home (my father's boyhood home). Paul was a good man and will be missed. Take Care
