Joseph Schott

Joseph “Ed” Schott, 90, of Butler passed away Monday, Oct. 26, 2020, at his residence.

Born Jan. 8, 1930, in Butler, he was a son of the late Joseph Clarence and Genevive (Schultis) Schott.

He retired from Logan’s Venting Co. in 1997, following 30+ years of service. Following his retirement, he drove a bus for Durham and A.J. Myers, where he transported special needs children. He felt it was the least paying job, but the most rewarding.

He was a member of St. Paul Roman Catholic Church, and the Knights of Columbus, where he served as a past Grand Knight. He was also on the financial board for St. Fidelis College and Seminary.

He enjoyed golfing, art and running.

Surviving are two sons, Joseph Bernard (Melanie) Schott and Mark Edward (Debra) Schott; his daughter, L. Lynne (Ole) Bergh, whom he made his home; his grandchildren, Adam, Hans, Erik, Jenna, Caleb and Jacob; and two great-grandchildren, Charleston Mae and Graham Edward.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Mary Joan Montifiore, Mary “Tey” Therese Gomes and Isabelle Colt; and his former wife, Lois Schott.
