Joseph Schaab Obituary

Schaab,

Joseph F.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Joseph F. Schaab, who departed this life on May 25, 2025, at the age of 88. Born to Irene and Francis Schaab, Joe was a lifelong resident of Amherst, NY. He served honorably in the United States Army and was a talented artist and master craftsman. As the founder and operator of Apex Masonry, Joe left his mark on countless homes and buildings throughout the community with his skilled brickwork and dedication. Joe was a cherished son, brother, nephew, cousin, father, uncle, partner, grandfather, and friend. Joe's home was more than a place - it was a hub of connection, joy, and tradition. Known for its festive gatherings, backyard bonfires, garden paths, and the ever-flowing tap, his homestead welcomed all. A private Celebration of Life will be held with close family and friends. Donations in his memory can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Please share condolences at www.jerfh.com.
