He was the second of four children born to Ralph Milton Schinzel and Gladys Vivian (Hubbard) Schinzel. Waldo passed away on October 4, 2016, at Heritage Crossings in Geneva at the age of 86 years, 6 months and 6 days. Waldo began his schooling at a country school and upon graduation from Sutton High School in 1947, he attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for one semester, before returning home to the family farm. In 1950, he was drafted into the United States Army, where he served both domestically and internationally in Italy. He was honorable discharged in 1953. Soon after, he met the love of his life, the late Virjean Faye (Hopken) Schinzel. After their marriage on April 10, 1955, they lived on a farm northwest of Grafton before moving to the homestead west of Geneva where they lived for 48 years before moving into Geneva. Waldo was a dedicated farmer, who devoted his life to his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved being on the farm and his passions included his extended family, visiting with friends and gardening. As a child, Waldo learned how to crochet from his mother. This hobby carried on with him throughout his life, and it gave him much joy to make and gift many of his creations to family and friends. Waldo will be remembered by many for his big heart and sense of humor. Waldo is preceded in death by his wife, Virjean (Hopken) Schinzel; his parents; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Bernard and Ella Hopken; sister, Phyllis Samuelson and her husbands Phillip Skinner, Robert Krohn and Ed Samuelson; brothers, Charles Schinzel and his wife, Jo; Dean Schinzel and his wife, Dorothy.
