Roland Schulte - 631st Engineer - Walt's Daughter - 11-15-2006


Received this from my friend Barbara. My heart goes out to you dear. I know how hard it is. God bless your dear father. Please take care and know that my heart, tears and thoughts are with you this day and always...

 

I just wanted to let you know that Daddy has passed away. He went to be with God at 9:10 PM Sunday Nov. 12. He had a massive heart attack Monday night and after being gone for 17 minutes he came back and three more times during the week he left and came back. He died with all of us at his bedside, holding my Mom's hand (June Schulte). We will miss him terribly. He will now be reunited with his buddies from the 1st Equipment Platoon of the 631st Engineers Light Company.

 

Daddy was 89 years old and a very proud Veteran. He will be buried in The Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis MO. with a Military funeral he richly deserves. He will be at Kutis Funeral Home 10151 Gravois St. Louis, MO 63123 Thursday Nov. 16 from PM until PM and his Burial will be at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery Friday with full Military Honors....time unknown right now as it has to be coordinated between the funeral home and the cemetery. On Monday the Charless Home on South Broadway where he and Mom resided is having a Memorial Service in the Chapel and they want me to sing the "Our Father" which was Pop's favorite Hymn. I am going to do my darndest not to cry and mess it up.......I want him to hear me loud and strong for him and make him proud.

 

I am not sure if Gene Fiducia is still alive or not as I have somehow lost his address but if you could let him and any others who may have known him, know, we would appreciate it. Thanks so much. Continued Blessings to you and all involved with your website and those who so valiantly serve and have served our Country.

 

Love-Barbara Grofe (Schulte) bereaved daughter of Roland Schulte
