Albert Schuck Sr

Albert Schuck Sr., 94, of Matthews, and in the peace of his home, went to his Lord and Savior on January 20, 2015. Albert was born in Philadelphia, PA, on May 3, 1920, the son of Allen Schuck and Rachel Jackson. On April 29, 1944, he answered his country’s call to service and joined the United States Army. There he earned the title of Rifle Marksman and was awarded the American Theater Campaign Ribbon and Victory Medal before his honorable discharge on April 18, 1946. In his younger years, he met a young lady named Penny World and when he was able, he came back to find this young woman who he felt destined to be with. On August 29, 1948, they were married and he was blessed to spend over 66 years with the love of his life. After his military service, Albert was turned down for a carpentry career but instead of letting that get him down, he persisted and found a position with National Sugar Refinery in Philadelphia. After forty years of service, he retired from National Sugar. They moved to the Southeastern United States in 1998 and Charlotte 8 years ago. He was a true family man, proud of his family, and proud to be a provider to them. He enjoyed dancing and music, but he was most proud of his family and loved the time spent with them and friends. He was a true pillar of strength and honor to his family and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. In addition to his wife, Penny, Albert is survived by three children: Penny Cherry Schuck of Matthews, NC, Paula Allison Schuck and her daughter Morgan Nicole Schuck, both of Matthews, NC, and a son, Albert Allen Schuck Jr of Lexington, SC; a daughter he raised as his own, Adrienne Jeanette Kearney of Philadelphia and her son Nathaniel Wendell Price; and a sister, Ruth Frame of Philadelphia and her son Anthone Robinson. He was preceded in death by his parents. In honor of his service to his country, Albert will be buried at the Salisbury National Cemetery with military honors. Committal services will be held at 2 PM on Friday, January 30, 2015. Albert’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for them during this time.
