Ron Schott Memorial

Ask anyone who knew Ron, and the reaction will be the same: A smile and, if you’re lucky, a story. Ron’s resourcefulness and grace under pressure were well-known. He was the consummate prankster and loved to have a good time, dressing up as a member of the band Devo or wearing “Ugly Christmas Sweaters” to parties. At work and around the house, he was a jack-of-all-trades who would help anyone with anything. Loyal customers at Frank’s Shoe Repair, where he worked for 25 years, visited the store to “talk to Ron and only Ron.” Far exceeding the passion for his work and a love of the outdoors, was Ron’s devotion and dedication to his wife, Lynne, and their children, Logan and Austin. Ron and Lynne ran concession stands, helped out at swim meets and lacrosse games, coached teams and car-pooled all over Pittsburgh. In all aspects of life, Ron was a true friend and genuine family man.
After Ron passed away suddenly on Dec. 1, 2014, his friends and family were determined to honor and celebrate his life, so they created The Ron Schott Memorial Scholarships.

These two scholarships will be awarded to Chartiers Valley High School seniors, one for a lacrosse player and one for a swim team member, who will pursue further education at a trade school or university.

To help raise money for the scholarships, we are hosting The Ron Schott Memorial Softball Tournament Sept. 24, 2016 at Chartiers Park in Bridgeville.
Net proceeds from the event will be used to support the scholarships as well as the purchase an AED device which will be installed at Chartiers Park for the benefit of the Association and the entire community.

The Ron Schott Memorial Scholarships were created to celebrate someone who made a difference throughout our community, and we’d like you to help us make a difference in his honor.
