A Memorial Service celebrating the life of Richard Farris Schaal will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2016, at Calvary Baptist Church in Bay City, Texas, at 10 a.m. The service will be led by the Rev. Chester Sassman. Richard, age 60, passed away on August 25, 2016 in his residence in Cleveland, Texas, following a lengthy illness. A former longtime resident of Bay City, Richard was born in Houston on August 26, 1955 to Evelyn and Alfred Schaal of Bay City. He made his commitment to walk in faith at Calvary Baptist Church and in his adult years he was a faithful member of Living Waters Church of Bay City, where he was a member of the Praise and Worship team. Richard showed an early ability in athletics, and spent summers playing baseball under the coaching of Odie Sweeny, later catching for the Lions in the Bay City Babe Ruth League, and playing on the All Star team every season of his participation. He graduated from Bay City High School in 1973, and lived in the Texas Gulf Coast area for the remainder of his life. His love of baseball made him a faithful fan of the Houston Astros, and he also played in various slow-pitch leagues in the Matagorda County area, and later coached Little League Baseball in Bay City. He was a talented musician playing guitar and piano, performing vocally, and operating sound for various groups. He also worked as a popular radio broadcaster for several radio stations in the Bay City and Galveston County area. In 1985, he retired from Phillips 66 in Sweeny, Texas, and opened Richard's Music, selling equipment and instruments in the Bay City area. His later employment with Continental Airlines and in the freight industry led him to at last settle in the North Houston area. He loved to travel, and his love of the series “Northern Exposure” led him to Alaska, where he enjoyed fishing and nature. Richard is preceded in death by his parents, Evelyn and Alfred Schaal. He is survived by his daughter, Rikki Schaal of Conroe, Texas; and by his sons, Tim Schaal and wife Jackie, and Stephen Schaal of Lebanon, Ohio; and by his step-sons, Clinton Hernandez and Bryce Cook of Conroe, Texas. Richard was a proud grandfather to Alayna Schaal, Maya Schaal, Alex Schaal, Jonah Schaal, and Haleigh Hernandez.

I am Bailey Sloane Schmitt. I was born in Sugar Land, Texas on May 9, 2005 to my Mommy and Daddy, Russell and Len “Sissy” Schmitt and I was taken to be with the angels on Monday, March 13, 2017. I loved playing softball, swimming, doing gymnastics, fishing, and playing with my friends and my big sister. My mommy and daddy would tell you I was free-spirited, spunky, and silly, but also sweet. I loved adventure and I got a lot of it. I never met a stranger and people always told me that my bright blue eyes, sweet laughter, and infectious smile lit up the world. Speaking of my eyes, you know the ones that twinkle, shimmer and shine, I was able to give someone the gift of sight – how cool is that? I am survived by my amazing parents, Russell and Len Schmitt; my favorite sister, Hallie; my Papa and Nana, Dan and Charlotte Tucker; my Grandpa Jerry Schmitt; my Uncle Daniel Tucker; my Uncle Nick and Aunt Sara Schmitt; my Aunt Sandra Tucker; my cousins, Lentz and Lanae Tucker, and Tyler Schmitt; lots of extended family; the best softball family a girl could ask for; and my sweet dog, Derby. I was preceded in death by my grandmother Peggy Schmitt; my great-grandparents Thelma Lee Rackley, Henry Lentz Rackley, Raymond Schmitt and Gertrude Schmitt, whom I will be entertaining in Heaven with my singing and dancing - oh, and my softball games in Heaven. My funeral service will be held at 1:00 PM Friday, March 17, 2017 at the First Baptist Church in Palacios, Texas with Rev. Chris Webb officiating. Interment will follow at Hawley Cemetery near Blessing, Texas. I would love to see lots of pink at the service. Pink was my favorite color and I hope it will remind you all to remember and celebrate the joy I brought to this world. My family and I would sincerely appreciate donations to Rose-Rich Girls Softball and/or Sugar Land Animal Shelter in lieu of flowers. Taylor Bros.
