Frank Richard Schultz

As a young boy, Frank attended Trinity Lutheran School and as an adult, he was a member of Pilgrim Lutheran Church. As a teen, he graduated from Sam Houston High School. Frank served his country in the Korean War in the 7th Armored Division, and was awarded a Combat Infantryman Badge for personally seeing active ground combat.

After returning from the war, Frank began his career as a shoe salesman for Burt’s Shoe Store and then spent ¬¬¬31 years working as a manager in several different departments at the Sears & Roebuck Store on South Main Street.

Frank was a devoted member of the Arabia Shriners, where he was the Commander of the Legion of Honor in 2002 – 2003, as well as a member of the Royal Order of Jesters. He frequently served as the Chairman at Shriners’ Hospital for Children for the Legion of Honor Christmas in July event, where he coordinated the music, food and gifts to children in the hospital.

Frank’s favorite hobby was fishing, and he could often be found out on Double Lakes in Guy, TX or Galveston Island with his fishing rod and tackle box, in the company of friends or family.

Frank had a great sense of humor and would talk and tease anyone near him. So many will miss his smile, laugh, hugs and kisses. He was truly the most favorite person in many of his friends’ and families’ lives.
