Jon Terry Schultz was born on Dec. 16, 1937, in Rochester, Minn., to Walter J. and Allene E. (Halling) Schultz. When he was 5 years old, his family moved to Washington State for a few years, before returning to the Midwest and settling in Chaseburg. Jon received his education in the Chaseburg area, and graduated from Westby High School in Westby. After high school, he moved to Kenosha and went to work for American Motors as a mechanic. He was united in marriage to Darlene B. Arthur on April 25, 1964, in Waukegan, Ill. They settled in Union Grove, where they raised their two children, and Jon continued to work for American Motors until retiring in 1987. After retiring, they moved to Willard and lived in a home on Mead Lake.

He had many interests, but especially loved fixing and restoring old cars, woodworking, and hunting deer, elk, bear, turkeys, pheasants and grouse. He loved a good bottle of beer and a nice whiskey old fashioned with a cherry and olive.

Jon is survived by his two children: Robbie (Ann) Schultz of Union Grove and Terri (Jeff) Servais of New Berlin; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and his wife, Darlene, on April 27, 2005.
