Budd Schooley of Dallas saddened the Back Mountain community. Like many who have gone before him, Dr. Schooley, a respected physi- cian and an author of four books, dedicated his personal life to serv- ing the community. He was leader of the Back Mountain Protective Association for many years and was instru- mental in having approved various projects that benefited the local area. A resident of Dallas for 59 years, he held offices in the local community and in the school dis- trict. Dr. Schooley was a devout indi- vidual and spoke out on his con- victions with courage and faith. He practiced medicine in Dallas and was more than a physician to his patients. He was their friend and took a deep personal interest in their well-being. Even after he announced his retirement from practice, he continued treating some of his longtime friends and patients, referring them when he deemed it necessary to other younger physicians or to those who practiced specialized medicine. Dr. Schooley was the author of four books; “The Word”, touching on all facets of the Back Mountain; “Spiritual Traveler”, dedicated to Sr. Mary Melanie principal of Gate of Heaven School; “Faith and Mercy”, dedicated to Sr. Anne Paye and the Charismatic Prayer Group; and “Living Water”, his philosophi- cal view of how people lived to- gether as a communty. He wrote many of his articles at the Schooley’'s summer home at Noxen while relaxing in front of the fireplace, or during warm summer evenings at their Dallas home on Lake Street, before the outdoor fireplace, under the stars. He often spoke of his good for- tune during his high school and college years when he had the opportunity to work in various kinds of manual employment in- cluding as a farm worker, grocery store clerk, drug store employee, in a coal breaker, as a stone mason’s helper, at a tannery, and on the township roads doing re- pairs and maintenance. Dr. Schooley was an ardent ' supporter of College Misericordia and a close friend of the late Rev. Johnd. O'Leary, atone time pastor of St. Therese's Church, Shaver- town. He also admired the late Dr. Harry A. Brown, whom Schooley believed to be one of the most outstanding public servants. He also held in great esteem and admiration the late Dr. Alfred W. Grover, chief of staff at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital. Dr. Schooley also believed in the youth of today, their wholesome- ness and their spirit. He was a firm advocate of finding the good in every individaul believing the good would grow and overshadow any bad. Dr. Peckville, the son of the late Orlando J. and Clara Nichols Schooley, and graduated from Peckville High School, Temple University, Class of 1927, and the’ Temple University School of Medi- cine in 1931. He also attended New York University and later opened his practice in Dallas where he was a member of the Dallas United Meth- odist Church, Luzerne County Medical Society, Pennsylvania State Medical Society, American Medical Association, the George M. Dallas Lodge 531, F&A.M., Caldwell Consistory, Bloomsburg, and Irem Temple, Wilkes-Barre. His wife, the former Florence Turner, died in 1985.
