Recent obituary: Dietrich Erhard Schulze

Dietrich Erhard Schulze of Chelsea, age 78, passed away at home on Thursday, April 13, 2017.

He was born on November 2, 1938, to W. Paul and Gertrud (Eisermann) Schulze in Berlin, Germany.

Dietrich and his first wife, Uta, left East Berlin in the summer of 1961, just before the Wall dividing East and West Europe was erected. They went to West Berlin, West Germany, Canada, and finally arrived in the United States in 1968. Dietrich and partner, Martin Karl, operated a successful tool and die business for 30 years.

Dietrich was a life member of the Inverness Country Club. While a member of the ICC Board he was the Greens Committee Chair for many years. As such, he was responsible for the purchase and planting of over a hundred trees at ICC which has enhanced the beauty of the course, but will be the bane of golfers for many years to come.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, April 23, 2017, from 12-4 p.m. at the Inverness Country Club, Chelsea.
