Hugo S. Schaufelberger II, 88, Sandusky, died peacefully at Providence Care Center with the people he loved around him on October 13, 2017. He was born January 14, 1929 to Hugo S. Schaufelberger Sr. and Lenora Horn Schaufelberger in Sandusky, OH.
Everyone knew Hugo - he was the guy that ran the elevator at LaSalle's or gave you a ride to X-ray at Providence Hospital, where he retired after 30 years. He was a Boy Scout Assistant Leader; a member of REACT; he was a plane spotter at Battery Park and on the CB with the handle of "Yellow Jacket". He was on the Sandusky's ADA Board, Erie County Senior Center Board, a member of the Margaretta High School Class of 1947 and involved in activities at Providence Care. He was caring, loving, strong willed and a friend for life.
He is survived by his sister, Peggy C. Scherer, Sandusky; niece and caregiver, Linda A. Scherer, Sandusky; nephew, Gregg (Molly) Scherer, Sun Prairie, WI, and niece, Leah (Jamie) Scherer Rausch, Milan, grand nieces/nephews and cousins. Hugo is also survived by his dear friends - Anna Ollar, Richard Kaman, Robert Reiber, Johnny McCoy, and Barbara Fleming at the Care Center. A Huge Thank You to Dr. Paul Bruner and to our extended Family at the Providence Care especially the staff on Cedarview, and the Kitchen/Dining Staff for your love, support and wonderful care of Hugo.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother-in-law, John C. Scherer; his paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents and aunts and uncles.
