Obituary
Riley Louis Schaub, 89, formerly of
Lincoln passed away on February 18, 2018 at the
Charleston House Memory Care in Beaver Dam, WI.
Riley was born on July 22, 1928 in Logan County, son
of Louis Edward and Martha Elizabeth
(Britten/Emmons) Schaub. He was united in marriage
to Lillian Elaine Bishop on May 21, 1950 in Omaha,
NE. She preceded him in death on May 19, 2014.
Riley worked for Pyle Construction before becoming
the Owner/Operator of his own HVAC business,
“Riley’s Heating and Electric” in McPherson, Kansas.
During those years in McPherson, Riley and Lillian
loved entertaining family, friends, and the students
of Central Christian College, where Lillian was
employed. Together they would play games or relax
while boating at the lake. Riley and his family were
very active in the McPherson Free Methodist Church
where Riley served as a Board Member, Sunday School
teacher and Usher. Riley and Lillian were also Class
Sponsors, Share Team Leaders and served on various
committees for Central Christian College, where
Riley also donated much of his time servicing the
buildings. After retiring, Riley and Lillian moved
to Aurora, MO where they continued to entertain
family and friends… especially with trips to
Branson, MO. They enjoyed assisting in the local
church and making new friends. All through his
career, Riley enjoyed designing and constructing
steeples for area churches as one of his favorite
hobbies. |
Riley never knew a stranger… only
friends he hadn’t met yet, and he never turned down
an opportunity to help someone in need. Riley’s
life, his character, and his love for family and
friends was a constant reflection of his personal
relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Surviving Riley are his children: Bonnie (Jack) Egan
of Elkhart, IN and Randy (Judy) Schaub of Beaver
Dam, WI; grandchildren: Matthew (Jamie) Lehl, Mary (Benji)
Oswald, Ryan (Jodie) Schaub, Jordan Schaub, Bill
(Kat) Egan, and Chris Egan; great grandchildren:
Finn, Briar, and Follie Lehl, Thomas and Nathan
Oswald, Lenox Egan, Haydn, Riley, Hudson, Reed and
Izaac Schaub, Zeke and Kya Mistark; nieces, nephews,
other relatives and friends. He was preceded in
death by his parents and two brothers: Earl Emmons
and Paul Schaub.
Services for Riley will be 11:00 a.m. Saturday,
March 3, 2018 at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral
Home in Lincoln, IL with Pastor Greg Wooten
officiating. Visitation will be one hour prior to
service also at the funeral home. Burial at Zion
Cemetery will follow the service, followed by a
luncheon provided by Hope Chapel, 2501 Woodlawn
Road, in Lincoln.
