By

Clifton Park/Cherry Plain – Herbert C. Schilling, 82, of Clifton Park, NY, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 24, 2013.
Born October 21, 1930, in Watervliet, NY, he was the son of the late Walter F. Schilling and Elsa Schilling-Schlake. Herb graduated from Watervliet High School. He retired from Behr-Manning/Norton Company after 38 years. He was a member of the Clifton Park Center Baptist Church where he taught Sunday school, led Bible Studies and was a leader with the Baptist Youth Fellowship for several years. Earlier, Herb and his wife Marie had served as supply pastors for the Hoosick Baptist Church, the Hoosick Falls Baptist Church and the West Hoosick Baptist Church, all in Hoosick, NY.
An avid traveler, Herb loved to cruise to escape the cold, winter months and enjoyed spending time with his relatives in Germany and friends in the United Kingdom.
Herb officiated little league games for many years and was a diehard Boston Red Sox fan all his life. He was privileged to see the Red Sox win the World Series twice during his lifetime.
Herb will be forever loved, cherished and missed by his loving wife of 57 years the Reverend Marie Goodermote Schilling of Clifton Park, NY, born and raised in Cherry Plain, NY, his wonderful son Carl Schilling and his wife Mary of Amsterdam, NY, his beloved daughter, Susan Schilling and her husband Larry Crutchley of Rexford, NY, and his grandchildren, Benjamin Schilling of Jersey City, NJ, and Bronwyn Sciarrino of New York, NY. His sister Esther Koemm and her husband Ronald of Marlboro, NY, also survive him as do his in-laws, Joan MacVeigh and her husband Tom, David Goodermote and his wife Gina and Alden Goodermote, all of Cherry Plain. In addition to his parents, Herb is also pre-deceased by his brother, Gunter W. Schilling.
The family would like to express its gratitude to all the medical staff and friends for all their thoughts, prayers and generous support.
A memorial celebrating Herb’s life will be held Saturday, August 31, at 11 am at the Clifton Park Center Baptist Church, 713 Clifton Park Center Road, Clifton Park, NY.
