James L. Schmidt
James L. Schmidt, 80, of Palatine, passed away peacefully Wednesday, November 15, 2023, surrounded by family. He was born August 9, 1943, in Chicago, IL to the late Mary (nee Hart) and Lewis Schmidt.
James was the husband of Stephanie J. (nee Derka) Schmidt; father of John (Tracy) Schmidt, Sr., Michael (Anne) Schmidt, Kristyne (Jeffrey) McMahon, and Kimberly (Robert) Schultz; grandfather of Tina, John Jr., Amanda, Sofia, Quinn, Avery, Kenzie, and Brayden; and great-grandfather of Jayden, Makayla, Giovani, and Eliana.
It is hard to summarize Jim in just a few words but here it goes. He had the unique ability to make everyone feel welcomed and appreciated, a big Bears and cubs fan and a lover of all things sports, biggest cheerleader in the stands of his children's, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren's games, golfing 18 holes with his best buddies, yard work for hours, long walks with the dogs, grilling burgers after a long day (sometimes like hockey pucks), super hilarious with the best laugh, Polo cologne that would stick to you for hours after you hugged him, and most importantly a fiercely dedicated dad, grandfather, husband, cousin, and buddy.
A memorial visitation will be held on Sunday, November 26, 2023, at the Meadows Funeral Home, 3615 Kirchoff Road, Rolling Meadows, IL 6008 from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm with a prayer service at 4:30 pm. Sandwiches and cookies will be served.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society (https://www.cancer.org/).
