William Allen Schofield
May 23, 1925 – January 20, 2019
William Allen Schofield (Bill), 93, died on Sunday, January 20, 2019, at his home in Florida. Bill was born on May 23, 1925, the son of the late Kathryn Luckett and William Allen Schofield. He was predeceased by his brother John P. Schofield and sister Regina “Jean” Schofield O'Brien. He is survived by his sister Beatrice Ransom of South Carolina.
He was a graduate of Norwalk High School, Class of 1943 and participated in many varied athletic programs in the Norwalk area including basketball, softball and football.
Bill was the loving husband of Monica Korman Schofield. They were married 71 years and have four children: Their daughters Marylouise Schofield Black of Connecticut, Kathryn Lund of Virginia, Monica Glenn of Georgia and their son William “Bill” Schofield of Connecticut. He is also survived by six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
For 33 years Bill was the Vice-President of Sales at Wilton Motors Corporation in Wilton, Conn. and the President of Fairfield County Car Leasing. He and his wife Monica were residents of Norwalk, Conn. and Wilton, Conn. for 47 years.
Bill was most proud of his military service during World War II as a submarine torpedo man on the USS Flounder #251 in the Pacific. He was an active member of the Submarine Veterans of World War II and American Legion Post 86 in Wilton, Conn.
Bill was an avid golfer both in Connecticut and upon his retirement in Florida. He competed in local tournaments in his golf association and won championships. Another claim to fame was his intense dislike of any vegetable other than peas and his insatiable sweet tooth. Most of all, Bill was a devout Roman Catholic and family man — a true gentleman who loved God, his family and his country — the personification of goodness.
A memorial Mass was held on Monday, January 28, 2019, at 10 a.m., at Prince of Peace Roman Catholic Church, Sun City Center, Fla. A funeral Mass will be held in late spring at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Redding, Conn.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Good Samaritans, Sun city Center, Fla.
