WILMINGTON—John "Jack" Schneider, 83, of Wilmington, passed away Sunday, March 10, 2024 at his home.
Born Nov. 10, 1940 in Lostant, IL, Jack was a son of John and Myrtle (Day) Schneider.
He was raised and educated in Lostant while his family built their family home in Indian Head Park, where he remained for many years until relocating to Lockport and then finally Wilmington.
Jack was a heavy equipment operator and he truly loved his work. One of his greatest joys was operating a backhoe, cutting and shaping the earth with precision accuracy.
