Obituary of Richard A. Schilling

 (Churchville, NY)  Rick was called home to the Lord October 30, 2023 at the young age of 75. Survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Gail (Bourdeau) Schilling, his sister, Sr John Francis Schilling, OSP of Baltimore, Maryland, and brother, John Schilling of Fort Worth, Texas. Rick is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, including Steve VanTroost. Rick retired from Eastman Kodak after 32 years of service. A quiet man, Rick possessed a great sense of humor. Inducted in the Rochester Bowling Hall of Fame, he also enjoyed years of fishing trips to the Thousand Islands with his good friends. He and Gail shared a lifelong rooting passion for the Boston Red Sox, visiting spring training many times. Gail and Rick enjoyed years of traveling, making memories and many friendships together. These are a legacy Gail can lean on as she begins a new season. Rick was her best friend and she will cherish their every memory. Thank you to all of you who have played a significant role in Rick’s life and gave him a lifetime of joy, laughter and many wonderful days. He was always happy and lived his life well. At Rick’s request there will be no calling hours or service. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Lollypop Farm in Rick’s name as that would please him.
