Thomas R. Schoenig

He was born February 6, 1937, in Chicago, IL to Ralph F. and Viola R. (Falconer) Schoenig. Tom married the love of his life, Judith Gallagher on July 8, 1961 in Chicago, IL. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corp as a Sergeant.

Tom retired as President and CEO of Northwest Collectors in 2020, a company he co-founded in 1970.

He was very creative and capable, essentially remodeling the family home on his own, and sharing those skills with neighbors who would rely on his help.

(Abigail) Schoenig of McKinney, TX; grandchildren, Kenneth Thomas Schoenig of Indianapolis, IN, Elyse Michelle of St. Louis, MO, Emily Judith of Bloomington, IL, Nicole Marie of Bloomington, IL, Madison Julia of McKinney, TX, and Savannah Detberner of McKinney, TX.
