Obituary
Otto J. Schultz, Jr., 91, of Monmouth Beach, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on May 10, 2022. He was born in Elizabeth, NJ on March 19, 1931 to Otto and Elizabeth Schultz. Otto proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy. He was extremely patriotic.
After his service he went on to receive his Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering from Newark College of Engineering, now known as New Jersey Institute of Technology. Otto moved his family to Middletown in 1964 working for the Bell Laboratories and later the Department of Defense for over 25 years. After his retirement he worked as a Realtor in Virginia before settling in Punta Gorda, FL.
Otto always had a thirst for knowledge. He was an avid reader who spent countless hours at the library. He was an active member of the American Legion in Punta Gorda. His love of outdoors brought him to hunting, fishing, and golf. On the off season he kept busy with puzzles, coin collecting and cards, most notably poker. He lived life to the fullest and will be sorely missed.
Surviving are two sons and daughter-in-law, Mark and Katie Schultz; Paul Schultz; sister, Patricia Schultz, and his granddaughter, Caroline Schultz.
Otto was preceded in death by wife, Cecelia, and his daughter, Diane.
A Memorial Gathering will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2022 from 12-3 pm at Victory Tavern, 21 W. River Road Rumson.
