Joseph Eugene Schumacher was born to Wendelin and Christine (Baumgartner) Schumacher in Hague, ND, on December 15, 1942. He spent his childhood on the family farm until he enlisted in the Army. He proudly served as a mechanic from 1960 to 1963. Joe spent his life working in construction, building houses and remodeling. Later on, he worked in the oilfield until his retirement. Joe was a very social person (he never knew a stranger; he could strike up a conversation with ANYONE!), he loved spending time with friends and family sharing stories over a cup of coffee or a nice cold red beer.

He will be greatly missed by his many friends and family.
