The family moved to Chicago when he was young, and into the Mayfair neighborhood when he was 12, where he resided for most of his life.

He was also deeply involved with his community as Scoutmaster and Committee Chair for Boy Scout Troop 904, and as a leader for VFW Niles Memorial Post 7712.

He is survived by two sons, Martin (Sandi) Schmidt and Robert Schmidt (Elizabeth Brohan); four grandchildren, James Patrick (Jean) Schmidt, Michael Schmidt (Becky Saladino), Ryan Schmidt and Matthew Schmidt; two great-grandsons, Bryan Schmidt and Patrick Schmidt; and several cherished nephews and nieces and their families.
