Charles Lawrence (Chuck) Schorr passed away at home, April 25, 2017, and has gone on to join the Angels singing in the Heavenly Choir. His beautiful voice will be greatly missed. Although Chuck's true talent was in singing and playing guitar, he also mastered woodworking and design making many beautiful pieces of Mission Style furniture which will always be cherished by family and friends.
Chuck had a unique sense of humor, was passionate about those he loved and was a devoted family man. Many held dear his friendship and love which he openly shared. He was a loyal member of Carraway United Methodist Church, choir member and instigated numerous interesting discussions in Sunday School. He returned to Carraway, his boy hood church, after attending Lee's Chapel United Methodist Church for a number of years where he remained friends with many. He retired from Konica Mfg. U.S.A. and recently re-connected with many former co-workers and would join them for lunch to reminisce old times. He was determined to live life as fully as possible until one week before he was called home. He had two active and happy years after his diagnosis for which we are extremely thankful.
Chuck is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 47 years, Sherre Cunningham; only son, Jonathan Paul and wife, Christy Ball and beloved granddaughter, McKenzie Leigh, who was the light of his life and will greatly miss her Opa; brother, Stephen Paul and wife, Katherine P.; nephew, Matthew; niece and goddaughter, Taylor, who lovingly cared for Chuck during his last few days; mother-in-law, Maxine Thomas; stepmother, Patsy Schorr; stepsister, Kelly Knight; godson and namesake, Chuck Clayton.
Preceded in death are his father, Thomas Paul and mother, Ruth Shelton.
There will be a celebration of Chuck's life at Carraway United Methodist Church, 1301 16th St. 27405 on Sunday, May 7, 2017 at 5:00pm with an informal opportunity to greet family immediately following.
Our sincere appreciation goes to Kimberlee Shaw, MD and Hospice nurse Sheri Jones for their care and kindness shown to Chuck and family during his battle with cancer. He will be dearly missed by his singing partners, Gayle Owens and Marsha Cole whose trio sang beautifully together for over 40 years. A part will always be missing.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Greensboro, 2500 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC 27405, an animal rescue of your choice or Carraway United Methodist Church.

Sherre Jonathan and all of the Schorr family. Chuck was a friend and a brother to me. I can remember when we first met and from that day on I had another older brother and a sister as well. When Chuck was around he would always have a story or a joke to tell.
When we moved out into the same neighborhood some 28 years ago there were a many a day he would stop just to say hello and check on me or just to tell me his latest joke and there were many of them. There were times that I would flag him down to tell him one that I had heard.
Because of some health issues I could not be around him very much the last year but he was always in my thoughts my heart forever and my prayers. One last thing not only has he got on his"Jesus Sandals" Chuck also has his Angel Wings to wear. Love you Buddy

Chuck was a member of my father's youth group, the Junior Outdoors Club, back in the 60's, and I hadn't heard from him since he left the Club. It was a fantastic surprise to hear from him in Feb and I am glad we were able to reconnect. I didn't know Chuck as an adult, but one could tell from his youth that he would indeed grow to be a man. He was always thoughtful and considerate; I remember him playing his guitar while we all sat around the campfire singing, on the club's camping trips. Sending love and prayers to Chuck's family. He was a fantastic person.

I must echo the words of Suzanne Douglas. I know, however, no words can replace a man of Chucks stature. We met online and argued religion & politics. While usually on opposing sides, Chuck's strength and humor shined, emerged, and won my heart. I came to respect him as a man with a big heart, which existed under a crusty veneer. Our messaging brought me joy and comfort as I entered into the world of cancer. While himself hurting, he inspired me with HIS comforting words. Even though we had never met in life, I consider Chuck a friend and mentor. My deepest sympathies for the Schorr family. Chuck Schorr was a good man. I am honored to have known him.

I send my condolences to the Schorr family for Chuck's passing. I knew him only through Face Book and while we often disagreed on politics, we didn't on so many other, more important things. To his granddaughter, yes, the light of his life, I will only say:"Your Opa is always with you." God bless and keep you all. Suzanne Douglass (Greensboro, NC)

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Schorr and family, I will miss Chuck's humor and laughter. He would share something new everyday when we greeted each other at Konica. Rest in Peace Big Guy.
