Bernard, “Barney” Schultz passed away on April 27, 2017 at the age of 83. He was born in Glen Ullin, ND to Benjamin and Mathilda (Morman) Schultz. Barney had a habit of running through the fields after he was dropped off at country school to get home before his parents did. So, they enrolled him in Glen Ullin at the Catholic School. He graduated in 1953, after which he was drafted into the Army. He was granted a special leave to go home and marry his love, Phyllis Duckwitz of Hebron, ND. After serving as an army medic in Germany, he returned home to his wife and attended Dickinson State Teachers college. In 1959 he was hired by the Army Corps of Engineers where he worked as a sediment sampler on the Missouri River. He was later hired into a training program at the hydroelectric plant in Fort Peck, MT. He went on from journeyman and electrician to eventually supervise the powerhouse. He retired in 1998.
Barney loved his Lord, his wife, and his family. He taught Sunday school and led Boy Scouts for many years. He was an avid hunter throughout his life. Though he may have been a man of few words, he had no problem showing his excitement at his sons’ football games or when a huge buck was spotted in the hills. It was a joy to hear him sing like Jim Nabors.
Barney was preceded in death by his parents, and four siblings, Bob, Adeline, Martha, and Tom. He was survived by his wife, Phyllis; children, Terry (Kim) Jung, Dale (Dorothy) Schultz, Daryl (Deb) Schultz, Patrick (Annette) Schultz, and Connie Sharp; 11 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren, and 5 siblings, Ken (Rene), Burton (Ellie), Clifford (Ella), Norma (Melvin), and Cathy (Tom).

Phyllis and family…I am so glad Barney is now in heaven with a healthy body. I know that if Mom (Agatha Rohde) were able to, she would send her love and prayers. It’s been a long, slow death for Barney and I am glad you are now all able to continue on, even though the physical parting is still very hard. Hugs and love to each. Colleen Rohde Pankratz

My condolences to the family on the loss of Barney. I worked with him at the Garrison Power Plant near Riverdale ND. He was a good man. I now reside in the same house he lived in while in Riverdale.

I worked at Fort Peck Power House as an operator from a979 through 1984. I enjoyed working with Barney. I found him to be a good man and not afraid to take on new jobs when needed. My condolences to the family.

To Phyllis and family,
Thinking of Barney brings back fond memories.
I worked with Barney at the Fort Peck Power plant from 1981 to 1984. I was just starting my career in hydro power working for the Corps of Engineers.
He was a smart man who was glad to share his knowledge with me. I really enjoyed our working relationship.
He was a true mentor to me and for that I am forever grateful.
Rest in peace my friend.
