In Memorial: SAS President, Jack Schafer
John “Jack” Schafer
1946 - 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our President, John “Jack” Schafer.
Jack passed the morning of April 1st, at Columbia St. Mary Hospital in Milwaukee surrounded by Kathy, John and Karina.
In recent months, Jack has been battling with kidney disease and was absent from some of our recent events.
Given the current situation with the Covid-19 Pandemic, we will be planning a memorial for Jack in the future. We are asking members and friends of Jack to email their memories and pictures of Jack for use in this event.
The family has created an online memorial for Jack, please visit to view photos and remembrances.
In remembrance of Jack, the sailor…
“I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;”
