Harold F. Schnur, age 88, of Herman, passed away while surrounded by his family on Mon., Aug. 14, 2023, at his residence.

Born in Herman on Sept.22, 1934, he was a son of the late Raymond J. and Mary Louise Michel Schnur.

Harold was a very proud and hard-working farmer.  He was known for his sense of humor and often brought a smile, laugh, or cackle, even to those most difficult to crack.

At family gatherings, even when the home seemed overflowing with grandchildren bubbling with commotion and chatter, Harold would always say "…all I wanted was a hug".

He was a member of Saint Francis of Assisi Parish, Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church.

He served for more than a total of 24 years as a Jefferson Township Supervisor and a Summit Township Supervisor. He also belonged to the Herman Volunteer Fire Company and the R.C. Men's Club. A longtime volunteer at Saint Mary Church, he especially helped with the fish fry.

For 40 years, Harold and Gloria took in foster children. They welcomed as many as four siblings at a time into their home.

He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Gloria R. Cypher Schnur, whom he married Feb. 14, 1953; two sons, Terry Schnur and his husband, Jason Martin, of Pittsburgh, and Larry Schnur and his wife, Joyce, of Butler; two daughters, Alice Campbell and her husband, Bill Ross, of Saxonburg, and Ann Schnur and her husband, Jeff Speakman, of Saxonburg; two brothers, Lloyd Schnur and his wife, Joanne, of Butler, and Glen Schnur and his wife, Erica, of Gibsonia; and numerous grandchildren and  great-grandchildren.

Harold was preceded in death by two sons, David Schnur and Michael Schnur; granddaughter, Becky; three brothers; and one sister.

Friends will be received in the Martin Funeral Home, Inc., 429 Center Ave., Butler, on Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on  Thursday at 10 a.m. from Saint Francis of Assisi Parish, Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church, 821 Herman Rd., Butler, with Rev. James Kurtz, OFM, Cap., officiating.

Burial will take place in Saint Mary's Cemetery.

Gloria and her family extend special heartfelt thanks to all Harold's caregivers, including Janet, Good Samaritan Hospice, and, especially, great-grandchildren, Lexy and Dalton.
