Harold P. Schrieffer Jr. passed away after a four-month battle with heart failure in his home on Monday morning, November 2nd, 2020. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 2nd, 1941. He is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 57 years, Carole Lombard Schrieffer, and his two adoring children, Stacie Schrieffer LeBlanc (W.J.) and Steven Harold Schrieffer (Melanie). Harold was most affectionately known as, Paw-Paw, by his four loving grandchildren, Megan Lindsey LeBlanc, Walter James LeBlanc, III (Trey), Caroline Joyce Schrieffer (C.J.), and John Steven Schrieffer (Jack). He is also survived by his sister, Diane Schrieffer Sloan and is preceded in death by his father, Harold Schrieffer Sr., and his mother, Estelle Abadie Schrieffer. Harold was a brilliant businessman, who passionately led his family business, Atlas Blowpipe & Sheet Metal Works Inc. He was a member of Club 20, the Suburban Rod and Gun Club, the Sheet Metal Worker's Association, and the Air National Guard. He cherished his time coaching at the playground. Paw-Paw enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren at every soccer game, baseball game, play, competition, event, dance competition and birthday party with camcorder in hand. His grandchildren treasured time with him playing ball, games and cards in the backyard on Beverly Gardens and at the condo. He loved fishing on his boat, the Carole Ann, named after his bride and spending time with his friends at his house on the Tchefuncte River. He was a lifelong fan of the Saints, LSU, Jazz and the Pelicans. It is most fitting that we celebrate his life during the year of a LSU national championship win. As the true patriarch of his family, he will be remembered for his strong will, countless laughs and devotion to his family. A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, November 7th at St. Angela Merici, 901 Beverly Garden Dr., Metairie, LA at 1 p.m. Visitation will be from 11 a.m.-1p.m. with all safety precautions and social distancing guidelines abided.
