William H. Schultheis, age 76 of Pittsburgh, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 12, 2020. He was born in Pittsburgh on March 27, 1943 and is the son of the late William C. and Mildred A. Schultheis. Beloved husband of the late Margaret Stuckwish Schultheis; brother of Sandra (Samuel) Pursglove; uncle of Samantha (Robert) Westerlund, Melanie (Luke) Marsh and Alexandra (Adam) Zaffuto.

Before his long illness Bill was an avid sportsman who loved to hunt and fish. He once said, “When I die, I want my obituary to say don’t send flowers, buy a kid a fishing rod.” He was a good friend to all who knew him and a genuinely kind person.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, 5405 Steubenville Pike, Robinson Twp., PA 15136. Please view and sign the family’s online guestbook at www.PittsburghCremation.com.

Sandy, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother Bill. I remember going up to Hites with you so you could buy his graduation card from Perry. Bill was always so kind to everyone, Heaven gained a special angel, He’s probably already playing his oldies for everyone. My love, prayers and hugs to you and your girls. ❤️????????

I can’t remember if Bill bought me my first fishing rod, but I was a lucky kid that Bill taught to love fishing. Bill and my brother took me to local lakes where I learned how to cast and catch trout and maybe most importantly the value of patience. They then took me along on multiple fishing trips to Canada where I learned how to jig for pike and walleye, handle bait casting reels and jumping bass. We even went on a fly in trip further north in Canada where I learned not to spit into a mosquito net, not to believe everything that Bill told me “moose piss”, and how to run from a skunk chasing me. These are some of my favorite memories from my childhood and Bill was a big part of them and happy to take his very young cousin along and patiently teach him how to fish. He was always a great guy and fun to be around even if the fish weren’t biting. I wish he was healthy when I had kids of my own. I did my best to teach them how to fish, but it would have been much more fun with Bill.

Dear Sandy and family, What a lovely sentiment. I really like what Bill said about giving a child a fishing rod. My grandchildren have all been fishing. They wanted to know what it was like, asked to go and enjoyed it so much! I will think of him whenever I see a child with a fishing rod. I know he will be missed always. Love, Susan and Alvery
