Louis Schmidt, made church woodwork
Louis G. Schmidt, an avid woodworker and custodian at two Roman Catholic parishes, died Sunday. He was 80.
A maintenance worker at St. Antoninus and Our Lady of Victory parishes, Mr. Schmidt continued doing odd jobs at both churches until he died. He also had worked at Riverview Nursing Home as maintenance supervisor.
But the Delhi man was perhaps best remembered for his wood-working creations, which include the main altar, tabernacle stand, lectern and baptismal font at St. Simon the Apostle Church in Delhi and a display case at The Rookwood Pottery in Mount Adams.
He made each of the pieces, as well as wood display signs for several businesses and the Delhi Historical Society, in a six-car garage behind the home he and his wife shared for 49 years.
"That's what sold him on the house: He liked the house but he loved the garage," said Mary "Toots" Schmidt, his wife.
After Mr. Schmidt completed the altar work at St. Simon, the priest there tried to pay him for the effort, but every time Mr. Schmidt would simply put the payment back into the collection basket.
Finally the priest bought him two bottles of wine, Mrs. Schmidt recalled, and said, "See if you can put those in the collection basket."
Mr. Schmidt served in the 107th Cavalry during World War II and was a member of the Disabled American Veterans and the American Legion Post 681.
In addition to his wife, he leaves a daughter, Mary Lou Crowley; and three sons, Ben, Joe and Jim Schmidt.
Services were held at St. Simon the Apostle Church. Burial was in Our Lady of Victory Cemetery. Radel Funeral Home served the family.

Fred Kline Williams Sr., built demolition derby cars
Fred Kline Williams Sr. helped patch up both people and cars.
Mr. Williams, 76, of Dry Ridge, died Friday at his home.
A retired employee of General Motors in Cincinnati, Mr. Williams was a Navy medical corpsman during World War II, and saw action in the Pacific Theater, said his son, Fred Williams Jr.
Recently, Mr. Williams' hobby was building and repairing demolition derby cars for his son and others, his son said. "He didn't drive them, but he helped us build and patch the cars."
A native of East Tennessee, Mr. Williams worked for GM for many years, before retiring some 12 years ago. Sometimes he and his family lived near the plant in Norwood, Ohio, and other times he commuted from Grant County, his son said.
He had a number of jobs in the plant, including quality control at the end of the assembly line, the younger Williams said.
"He made sure the cars were all right when they came off the line." Mr. Williams was a member of the Williamstown American Legion post.
Survivors also include his wife, Kathryn Williams; a daughter, Freda Dupuy of Crittenden; a brother, Frank O. Williams of Maryville, Tenn.; a sister, Lucille Howard of Cincinnati; and four grandchildren.

Clare F. Duncan, veteran and engineer
Clare F. Duncan was a World War II veteran who went on to become a quality control engineer at two large companies. Yet there was more to him than patriotism and professionalism.
"He had a nickname of 'Huggy Bear,' which he was called by his many friends," said Kentucky state Rep. Thomas Kerr, Mr. Duncan's son-in-law.
"And he had many, many friends because even though he had a gruff exterior, he had a good, tender heart and people recognized that."
Mr. Duncan, 83, of Taylor Mill, Ky., died Sunday. The U.S. Navy veteran worked at General Electric in Cincinnati for about 22 years, and held the same position at Husky Products in Florence for about 10 years.
He also leaves a daughter, Janice Kerr; sons, Wayne G. Duncan and Michael E. Duncan; 12 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild. His wife, Ruth M. Duncan, died in 1980. A daughter, Judy Ward, died in 1977.
