Neil Robert Schubert, Jr., of Pinehurst, NC, passed away peacefully at his home on July 18, 2024.
He is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years Linda (Loring), son Neil (Anna Ferreira Schubert) of Wilmington, NC, daughters Christine Lane (Edward) of Hagerstown, MD, Dina Mauger of San Juan Capistrano, CA, Letitia Vasquez, of Temecula, CA, and Randalyn Vasquez of Corona, CA, brother Richard (Linda), and sister Carol Wilson (Stan), 15 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren.
Neil, Jr. was born on July 17, 1940, in Chicago, IL, to parents Neil and Dorothy (Dauphinais) Schubert. He graduated high school from DePaul Academy in Chicago in 1958. He married Penney Kirchoff in 1961 and became a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman. Their son, Neil, III, was born in 1962 and soon after the family moved to Orange County, CA. Neil graduated from California State University at Fullerton in 1966 with a degree in accounting and in 1970 began work at Lear Siegler Inc, Electronics Instrumentation Division in Anaheim, CA. He rose through the company to become the Vice President of Finance. It was at Lear Siegler where he found friendship with a group of men and women whom he cherished for the rest of his life. It was also there that he met Linda, and they were married in 1984. He left Lear Siegler in 1990 and went on to work at Ricoh DTG before retiring in 1993. In 2005, Neil and Linda moved from southern California to Pinehurst, NC.
Along the way, Neil took up golf and became an avid golfer. He and Linda were members of Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park, CA, and lived in a beautiful house that backed up to the course. In North Carolina, they became members of Whispering Pines Country Club.
Besides golf, Neil and Linda loved to travel together. They cruised to Alaska, the Tahitian Islands, England and Denmark, French canals in Champagne, and the Panama Canal. They had several trips to Europe, including trips to Italy and France with their children and their friends, and they traveled to Brazil with family. He was a fan of baseball and he loved to read, particularly history. But what he loved most was to enjoy an evening of fine food and fine wine with family and friends.
