The late Alphonse Scholtz was from Scranton. His family is facing the daunting task of arranging his funeral, a situation made even more challenging by the lack of a financial plan. Alphonse’s son, Jake Scholtz, has organized a GoFundMe campaign to honor his father’s legacy and help cover the funeral expenses.
Alphonse passed away tragically on Tuesday, June 12th. He is survived by his children, including a son who served in the Navy and a daughter who is currently serving. The family, deeply affected by his sudden death, is seeking support from the community to give him a proper send-off.
Jake Scholtz, in his heartfelt appeal, shared, "My father tragically passed away. He didn’t have a plan or anything to help assist us after he was gone. I’m hoping to have a service, but there are not a lot of options on the table without help." The fundraiser has set a goal of $5,000, and as of now, $295 has been raised through five donations.
The community’s response has been touching, with friends and acquaintances sharing their memories and condolences on Facebook. Kirk Kornish and Becky SvetTuff expressed their sorrow, with Becky commenting, "This is heartbreaking. RIP AL." Samantha Egnotovich reminisced about Alphonse, saying, "I knew Al from when I used to go to the bar. He was such an awesome guy, very funny, and knew how to light up a room."
Jake’s plea for support resonates with many, as he urges, "Please, if you can help, please help. If not, a simple share will go a long way to get the word out there." The fundraiser, titled "Help Honor Alphonse Scholtz’s Legacy," aims to alleviate the family’s financial burden during this difficult time.
As the family navigates this period of grief, the community’s collective support and shared memories of Alphonse provide a source of comfort and strength.
