Anthony
"Tony" Joseph Schorr, beloved husband of Helen Schorr, father of Angela
Evans and Amanda Franks, left us unexpectedly on Sunday, March 13th,
2022.
Tony was born on March 22, 1945 in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Helen
(Szafarz) and Richard Tchorzynski. He grew up in Detroit with his 3
brothers Dennis, Richard, and Christopher, and sister, Bernadette. He
came from a large Polish American family with many aunts, uncles and
cousins with whom many wonderful memories were made.
After graduating from St Hedwig High School, he served in the US Army in
Korat, Thailand. After his time in the military, Tony earned a
bachelor's from Wayne State University and a master's degree from
Central Michigan University. Tony made excellent use of his degree and
worked in the automotive industry for AMC and Chrysler as a Program
Manager and executive till he retired in 2001.
In his younger years he loved to be active and ski, that is how he met
his wife, Helen. They began their life together and lived in Detroit,
Michigan for a time and then moved to New Baltimore, Michigan. There
they raised their daughters, Angela and Amanda, and resided there for
many years till they started a new adventure in Plainwell, Michigan. He
and Helen enjoyed many years on Pine Lake of fishing, pontoon tieups and
parties with family and friends.
They moved back to Chesterfield, Michigan in recent years. Last summer they
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
Tony loved reading books, watching sci-fi shows and all kinds of movies. He
loved fishing, golf, going for walks, taking drives and enjoyed traveling.
"Tony was a great tinkerer and if something was broke, he had a talent for
fixing it." He liked to keep busy and always put his all in everything he
did. Tony found happiness in the simple things and made each day count.
If you looked up the definition of family man in the dictionary, you would
be sure to see a picture of Tony next to it. He loved his family beyond
measure. Tony was always there to help, offer support, and share his loving
heart with his wife, daughters, grandchildren, family and friends. Tony was
strong in his faith, attended church regularly, and always sent blessings to
his loved ones. "God Bless and Love You" were always heard at the end of
conversation, message, a call or seen in a card or note. He will be missed!
