Obituary of James Phillip Schall, Sr.

James Phillip Schall Sr. “Jimmy”, “Jim”, resided in Michigan his whole life, and preferred to be up in Mikado Michigan. He bought his first home up north, as his dream had been to live up there…but his final days were spent down state. He passed away on April 10, 2024 at the Regency in Grand Blanc, surrounded by his daughters. He was born on July 13, 1938 in Detroit Michigan to the late Anthony and Mary Schall.

Jim enjoyed working with wood made many things. Later in life he took up working with plastic canvas and enjoyed it. He was never afraid to try and make anything with that plastic. He enjoyed working with his hands, and if you really wanted something, he would figure it out using either wood or plastic.

He is survived by his three daughters, Debra (Paul) Altamira, Dianna (Rick) Bradley, and Peggy DeLisle; daughter-in-law, Sandra Schall; grandchildren, Antonia Altamira, Alejandro Rosario, Angelic Boom, Brent (Paige) Bradley, Logan (Amber) Bradley, Garrett Bradley, Nicole (Steve) Howard, Nate (Christy) Putman, Jess (Kayla) Putman, Jeremy Putman, Dezerae Schall, and Dakota Schall;  step-grandchildren, KaSandra Choate, Angelica Choate, and Michael Martin; fifteen great-grandchildren, plus one on the way that he was excited to meet in June; many nieces and nephews; and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Mary; his son, James Schall Jr.; all of his siblings; many nieces and nephews; along with great- nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life is being planned for July 13, 2024. Complete service information will be announced later as that date is closer. To sign online guestbook, visit  www.creamationsocietymidmi.com Arrangements made with Cremation Society of Mid Michigan.
