South Bend Tribune 3/14/2000

Arthur E. Schultz, 73, of Mishawaka, Indiana, passed away on March 11, 2000. He passed peacefully with his children and wife at his side. Art was born on June 25, 1926, in Dowagiac, Michigan, to Jacob and Ida (Streik) Schultz, who preceded him in death. Art married Peggy Hill on Feb. 19, 1977, in South Bend, Indiana. Arthur Schultz is survived by four children from a previous marriage to Verna D. Smith (m. 1946, div. 1974); Paula Hobson of Mishawaka, Roger Schultz and his wife, Nancy, of Danville, Indiana, Julia Kay Terwilliger and her husband, Wayne, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, and Tabatha Schultz of Pelzer, South Carolina. Also surviving are six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He leaves behind brothers, Henry Schultz of Michigan and Albert Schultz of South Bend; and sisters, Alvina Konopinski, Rosie Arney and Eda Bell, all of Michigan. Preceding him in death are sisters, Anne Schultz, Millie Schultz, Amila Sullivan and Helen Bankie; and brothers, Emil Schultz and Jack Schultz. Art retired after 35 years from Bendix in 1985, and he was a member of UAW Local #9, Bowlers Country Club, and the First Apostolic Church of Mishawaka. He was an avid golfer and card player. One of the many things you could say about our beloved husband, father, grandpa, brothers, uncle and friend was his awesome sense of humor. Art always had a great joke for you and a smile on his face. He was a wonderful husband and he will be missed deeply. We commit him into the hands of the Lord.
