He was raised in LItchville, ND, and passed away peacefully under hospice care at the Sheyenne Care Center, Valley City, ND, May 31, 2016. He had several battles with different kinds of cancer over the last many years. Prayer services will be held at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Enderlin, ND on Wednesday evening, June 22, 2016 at 7:00 pm. Leo graduated from Litchville High School with the class of ’49. He farmed for a few years on his parents’ farm near LItchville, then enlisted in the Army and went to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri in October 1952. He was a Corporal stationed in Germany, where he served with the Military Police in the 28th MP Co., and received an Occupational Medal. While in the Army, before going to Germany, Leo got first hand combat training in atomic warfare at Camp Desert Rock in Nevada, one of their proving grounds for the atom bomb. He witnessed the 9th nuclear blast near ground zero in what was called “Operation Upshot Knothole.” He was in a trench with some fellow soldiers, on their hands and knees, when the bomb was detonated. He said he could see the ground move from side to side beneath him, through closed eyelids because it was so bright. When he got up and looked around, the mock town they had built was devastated. Leo came home from the Army after an Honorable discharge in October 1954, then married his sweetheart, Margaret “Marge” Pfaff on November 10, 1954. They made their home in Litchville for the first few years, with Leo being the mayor for one term. He worked for the county driving maintainer, and also at Farmers Union as a mechanic, before getting a job with his brother-in-law Bill Pfaff, of Pfaff Plumbing and Heating, also of LItchviile during that time. When Pfaff’s moved to Enderlin, Leo and Marge moved to a farm just ouside of Enderlin in 1965, where they lived for a few short years and Leo continued working for Pfaff’s. In 1969 Bill and Ellen Pfaff decided to split their business between commercial and residential. Bill offered to sell the residential side to Leo and Marge, so on January 1, 1970, they became the proud owners of Schall’s Plumbing and Heating. Around that same time, they bought a beautiful home in town where they spent the rest of their lives (until Leo recently moved to the Sheyenne Care Center to live out his last few days. Leo enjoyed being a business owner for 23 years. When the time came to slow down a little, he sold the business to his son, Curt Schall, on February 1, 1993. Leo continued working for Curt until 2010 when he was 79 years old, and he finally retired for good. Leo loved to talk about his family, heritage, and time spent in the Army. He was a great community supporter, a member of the VFW, Lions Club, Volunteer Fire Dept., Senior Citizens Center, and St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, all in Enderlin. Leo is survived by 1 son: Curtis (Leanne) Schall, Nome, ND; 2 daughters: Debra Anderson, Phoenix, AZ, and Linda (Gary) Bunn, Minco, OK; 3 sisters, Doris Aas, Margaret (Warren) Elm, and Joyce Rodin, all 3 of Valley City, ND; 1 brother-in-law; Gene Pfaff, Fargo, ND 7 grandsons; 12 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He enjoyed them all. Leo was preceded in death by his parents; wife of 60 years: Margaret (2014); 2 sons: Edward Schall (1990), and Richard Schall (1995); 1 grandson: Shane Bunn (1999); and 1 sister; Esther Matt. Leo will be proudly remembered as a wonderful family man, full of laughter and fun. He loved to be in parades with his bathtub, put jigsaw puzzles together, play cards, music and dancing, and didn’t miss many get-togethers or parties. He loved life. He was a great husband, father, and grandfather. Leo, along with his sense of humor, will be deeply missed around town, and by all his family.
