Leonard Schultz Obituary

He was good so many and help people no matter what..!

Not really sure why I've decided to write here after all this time, but you crossed my mind tonight. Maybe it's because mom & dad are getting older....I really miss you uncle Bud! So much has changed in all these years. I talk to you often, but it's still so hard not to receive your advice. Gosh, you always pointed me in the right direction. I know you've been watching over us all ♡ I just saw your girls & they are truly great woman! Ali & I are still close, & of course Josh & Lauren ♡ I just wanted to stop by let you know that I love you & think of you so very often! Thank you for always being there for me, & helping me grow up ♡

Christine,

since bud's passing I have thought of you often.
When a black car pulls into the lot on a slow afternoon I think of Bud. If a man asks to plug his cell phone in. I think of Bud. I hope your daughters are doing well. Also, I hope reading the guest book brings you comfort.

Christine, Diane, Mary Lou,

I'm shocked at Bud's passing almost a year ago, having just found out recently and can't believe living in the area that we didn't hear of his passing. Going back to the neighborhood on 83rd St. Bud was always looked up to by all the younger kids. Our paths crossed throughout the years in a varity of places and we exchanged fond memories and asked about family. He was a guy that had an enchanting charisma about him and always had a smile with a witty story. May he rest in peace.

Bud I will miss you terribly,you were my true friend. Forever..I wish I would have known this happened. Six months later ,I now just found out. My heart is broken from the news.

My deepest sympathy to the most important women in Bud's life: his wife and daughters. Bud always spoke so very highly of his family and bragged about his daughters' accomplishments. Bud, the gentleman, the lawyer and the friend will be missed by all of us who had an opportunity to work with him.

To Bud's family,
My family and I will truly miss Bud, he was a class act; a true gentleman. He was a very kind and positive person. My heart is literally broken. I will always remember Bud.

Mrs. Schultz, I will keep you and your daughters in my prayers.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Schultz Family. Buddy was a classmate of mine many years ago at St. Francis de Paula. Even though it has been so many years, I have never forgotten his fun personality and knew he would always succeed. I am so sorry to hear of his sudden passing and will remember him in my prayers.

Working in retail, you remember customers for the "right" reasons or the "wrong" reasons. Bud was always happy when he came in and made all of the other employees smile before he left. Even when there was a problem, he was always pleasant and great to be around. All of us here were really sadden to hear of his passing. He was one of the good guys and will be missed.

To Buddy's Family,
I went to Loras with Bud, he had a quike wit and a sharp tongue you, had to be on your "A" game to play "Mouth Karate"with him and I loved every minute of our battles. he was a great guy and a very good baseball player. He will be missed.

To the Schultz family,

I was very saddened to hear today of Bud's passing. He was always a gentleman in and out of the courtroom. He will be greatly missed.

Every time I saw Bud in the courtroom, he always had a smile on his face and a friendly thing to say. I was so sad to hear of his passing. He will be truly missed by defense and state alike.

A great lawyer and a better friend, Bud you are truely missed by all who new you. Christine, you and your girls are in my prayers.

Yesterday was the Mass and interment of Buddy, he was a true friend for the past 40 plus years and I will miss him deeply. When everything was over and I was back home I sat and pondered the day's events and eulogies and I became very envious and grateful for the wonderful life Bud had led. At the grave site after the prayers and the final announcements,his family and his friends did not want to leave, I had never seen anything quite like it. I told Christine later that if there would have been food and drinks they would still be there today. It was an unbelievable send off, the line at the viewing was at least a half hour long all night. Hundreds and hundreds showed up to say good-bye and there were all kinds of stories of people he had helped; Bud's generosity to all was legendary. He gave me his friendship and that was good enough for me.
So Bud say "hell-o" to Jack for me and I'll see you soon.

He was an inspiration to me as a person, and as a young aspiring attorney. He will be sorely missed by all.

Christine,
Barbara and I were shocked at the news . We have nothing but great memories of you and Bud and our heartfelt condolences go out to you and yours.

May his memory serve as a blessing,
Michael and Barbara Salberg

To the Schiltz family, my deepest condolences at this sad time. Bud was truly a great man who helped so many. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies for the passing of true gentleman, a good friend and a great lawyer.

Bud was a great attorney and an even greater man. He was always a pleasant and kind man. When in court we shared the love of bomber jackets. He will be missed.

Bud was a kind and generous man. He had an eternal smile. I am sure he is smiling down on us all right now.
Bud was one of those few persons in our lives that somehow always made us feel a little better about ourselves every time we engaged him in a conversation. Thanks Bud!!

Christine, Allison & Lauren;
I met bud almost 2 yrs ago at the dome restaurant (his waitress sue)he was always so uplifting I had asked him being so tailored and neat what did he do for a living that he seemed so happy He told me he was a criminal defense attorney. we had a joke that he was happy he wasnt in jail. Everyone at the Dome enjoyed his company. He will be missed by all of us.

Christine and girls. I can not imagine your saddness because I too have extreme sadness with losing our Buddy. A class act and gentelman always willing to give time to those who had questions or to discuss the current sports. Those White Sox he loved. My prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Memories of the best of times will help heal, I know for me.
Remembering those very exciting quarter games helps. I know all my kids remember that and his wide smile at each greeting.
Love and Prayers Nancy Ristau and Family

Christine, Lauren and Allison- Jeff and I were saddened by the death of Bud. What a wonderful new friend we were blessed to have known, even tho brief. Our times together at Purdue(beer pong) were some of our best times there. Your family is in our prayers. I am so sorry we will not be with you for the celebration of Bud's life. Love, Mary and Jeff Kilcoin

I was so saddened to hear about Buddy. He always referred to me as a niece, so he was always an Uncle to me- but he was also a mentor and role model as well. I looked up to him. He always took the time to speak to me and offer advice, and I will miss him terribly. Aunt Christine, Allison and Lauren, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there, you guys.

Dear Christine, Lauren, and Allison, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I was a prosecutor for many years, as were my current law partners, Kent Delgado, Rob Robertson, and Ted Adams. I speak for all of them when I say Bud will be missed. He was a great guy, and a great lawyer. We were always happy to see him walk through the doors of our court rooms. We extend our deepest sympathies.

Dear Christine, Lauren and Allison,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Bud. He was a great guy and we are all better people to have known him. He was always so nice to us neighborhood kids and took the time to know what was going on in our lives even after we "grew up." I will always remember how much fun he made the summertime block parties with the fireworks and how your house was always the "fun" neighborhood hangout spot because Bud was around. He was always so caring with my Grandma and was genuinely concerned about how she was doing. Please know I am thinking of you all during this difficult time and keeping you in my prayers. I hope you will find peace in knowing that he is so dearly remembered.
Much love and God bless,

Christine, Lauren and Allison,

We are very sorry to hear of your loss.
