Carroll Schattschneider
February 17, 1918 — September 19, 2006
“…well done, good and faithful…”
Carroll John Schattschneider, age 88, of Ripon, passed away on Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at Fountain View Care Center where he had been a patient for one year.
Carroll was born on February 17, 1918, the son of John and Bertha (Prill) Schattschneider. He was baptized and confirmed at Our Saviour’s United Church of Christ of Ripon. He graduated from Ripon High School in 1937. On May 30, 1941, he was united in marriage to Martha Kubehl at Zion Lutheran Church in Fairwater where he was a member for 60 years, during which he served as choir director, council member, and on the building committee. Martha died on November 19, 2000.
With his father, Carroll worked from an early teenager until his Army service in World War II at their Deep Rock Service Station. During the war, from October 7, 1942 until December 12, 1945, he was a member of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, playing first trombone in the Regimental, Parade, Concert, and Dance Band, when stationed in Alabama, England, France, and Germany. He then entered into partnership with his father at the Schattschneider & Son Garage.
“Schattsie” joined the Ripon Police Force on February 1, 1959 and retired on December 31, 1979. After his retirement, as he is now remembered by many as their “favorite bus driver” he was employed by the Ripon School District for the Olden Road-Pickett route. For several years he managed the Milwaukee Journal Distribution Center. He and his “carriers” won a statewide contest-he did so enjoy and never forgot the students on his route and his Journal “boys”.
The first Aldermanic District elected Carroll to represent them on the Ripon City Council from 1980-1996, when home cares demanded his services. Meanwhile, Carroll enjoyed carpentry, fishing, hunting, gardening, and his hot house venture. The Ripon Lions’ Club honored Carroll’s 50 year charter membership on January 28, 2006. He had served 3 terms as president and was a most loyal supporter of Lions’ projects and activities.
On January 5, 2002, Carroll and Dorothy Boers (Laboyeske) were united in marriage at Our Saviour’s UCC in Ripon. They lived in their Green Lake home and were members of the Green Lake Federated Church.
Carroll was preceded in death by his parents, infant son, Edward John, sister, Mildred Wilke, and wife, Martha. He is survived by wife, Dorothy; daughter, Lori (James) Purath; grandchildren, Stephanie and Christopher Purath and nephew, Douglas Toll. The family extends a special and sincere thank you to Dr. David Brown and the staff at Fountain View Care Center for the great compassion and excellent care awarded to Carroll throughout.
Carroll’s entire life has been one of service and a source of joy and love to family, church, community, school, country, and all those he has encountered. Truly-a great and good man- a sower of good deeds!
