He was the son of Joseph Edward/Susan Beckley Schullery. He married Judith Catherine Murphy, whom he spotted while taking tickets for Capital University (Columbus, OH) football game. They were the parents of Stephen Edmund, Deborah Susan, and Paul David.
Following high school, he and a friend worked in local abandoned coal mines. His mother was unhappy that he was working in the mines, so his Uncle Steve, in collaboration with his son-in-law Rev. Rolik, offered to pay his tuition to attend Capital University and major in theology.
After the first year, he paid his own way, by staying with a family, doing odd jobs, and tutoring their daughter. For his last two years, he worked as a head waiter in one of the boys' boarding clubs, and also for National Youth Administration doing odd jobs and playing football (left tackle--until his mother asked him to quit). He graduated from Capital, and, in 1942, from Mt. Airy Seminary in Philadelphia, PA.
He worked as a Lutheran minister serving parishes in Quicksburg, Va; Hegins, PA; Hershey, PA; Corpus Christi, TX; Gadsden, AL; Warren, MI; and Lancaster, OH. The TX, AL, and MI parishes were new churches he organized while working for the Lutheran Church in America's Board of American Missions. He retired from the ministry, and worked in Columbus for the state of OH in inventory control.
He was a good woodworker, and made just about all of the family's furniture, from walnut trees he cut while in VA. He liked printing, had two presses in the basement, and hung around the local newspaper printing shops in his TX, MI, and OH communities.
He died of a second heart attack, while at the Helping Hands Care Home in Amanda, OH.
