Paul "Rick" Schwartz

A LIGHT, JOY & LOVE HAS GONE HOME

Paul Frederick “Rick” Schwartz, Jr. passed peacefully to his heavenly home on Monday March 22, 2021. Rick was son to Paul & Loraine Schwartz, brother to Gail Muffitt, Laurie Pertchi (Matt) and Lynn Merryl (Irv Mandelberg). He also had many, many nieces, nephews, cousins, God-children, loving friends and caregivers.

Rick was a gift. He was eternally loving and abundantly loved in return. Those who remember him will carry on his warmth, the generosity of his hugs, laughter, presence and most importantly his smile. Rick was an avid water skier, bowler, and in his younger days – Special Olympics medalist. He lived life to the fullest and never allowed obstacles, that might have stopped any one of us mere mortals, to stand in his way. We are grateful to God for having Rick in our lives and FOREVER in our hearts.
