Stephen “Steve” Schultz

Stephen “Steve” Schultz, 81, of Cedar Grove passed away on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, at his home surrounded by his family.

Steve was born on Nov. 18, 1942, in Port Washington to George and Margaret (Bertram) Schultz.

He was a graduate of Port Washington High School.

On Nov. 6, 1965, he married Alice Schwind. 

Steve was preceded in death by his parents George and Margaret (Bertram) Schultz and his sisters LaVern (James) Godersky and Kathleen Nickel. 

He is survived by his wife Alice Schultz, his son Bill Schultz, daughter Ann Miller and grandchildren Isabel Picus, Olivia Miller, Rebecca Miller, Jackson Miller and Stephen Miller. Other surviving family members include his sisters-in-law Elizabeth Chapman, Rosie Lensmire and Dorothy Roehl, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Steve started his career as a foreman at Bolens/FMC and later became a superintendent at Trak International. He had a successful career as a Snap-on tool salesman with routes throughout the southeast portion of Wisconsin. He was mostly known as “Snappy” the Snap-on man. He retired in 2009.

First and foremost, Steve was a family man. He adored his wife and children and lived every moment to provide a beautiful life for them. Their lives were filled with adventures like driving his many Corvettes to Elkhart Lake for races and parking in the Corvette corral, trips to new places in the state and fun-filled family vacations. 

He was a devoted Catholic and prayed a rosary daily for his family and specifically for each of his grandchildren. He was faithful to attend weekly Mass and enjoyed visiting churches throughout the state and getting to know priests from around the area. 

Anyone who knew Steve has a story of a fun party or gathering where he lit up the room and was the life of the party. He enjoyed getting to know people and never met a stranger. 

He was an avid Green Bay Packers fan and enjoyed any sport his children were playing at the moment. He showed up to every game and he mentored their friends, helping them through the difficult teen years of their lives as well. 

Steve loved to collect unique antiques, traveling throughout the United States and around the world, and just enjoying life! 

A memorials service to celebrate Steve’s life will be held on his 82nd birthday, Monday, Nov. 18, 2024, at 6 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church, 230 Butler St., Random Lake, with Father Don Thimm officiating. Relatives and friends may greet the family on Monday, Nov. 18, 2024, at the church from 3:30 p.m. until the service at 6 p.m.
