Captain Albert A. Schaufelberger, Jr.
Captain Albert A. Schaufelberger Jr., 87, was born March 24, 1927, in Detroit, Mich., to Albert A. and Lillian Kristine (née Larsen) Schaufelberger. He died on May 16, 2014, at his residence on Fripp Island, SC.
He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, where he had been an All-American Soccer player, in June 1949 and thereafter married Virginia Long Robinson of Grosse Pointe, Mich.
“Shoes” became a Naval Aviator in 1951, and in 1952 had just launched from the USS Wasp when it collided with the USS Hornet. Told simply “to conserve fuel,” he flew for hours wondering if they were going to be able to land back on board or have to ditch in the ocean in darkness. His was the first plane to land back on the Wasp because he had two observers on board, observers whose flight deck celebrations were cut short by Shoes ordering them below, pointing out that eight other planes, all critically low on fuel, needed to land now.
His career with the United States Navy consisted of several assignments at the controls of combat aircraft. Al completed three combat tours during the Vietnam War. His skill, courage and leadership were recognized with a number of awards including a Bronze Star and Legion of Merit citing “Heroic service in connection with operations against the enemy while attached to and commanding Attack Squadron VA-146, embarked in USS RANGER (CVA-61) From February to August 1966. Under the leadership of Commander Schaufelberger, his squadron led all others embarked in numbers of combat missions and combat hours flown. During this period his extensive knowledge was repeatedly called upon in the planning, weaponeering and selection of tactics for a wide variety of targets. The best measurement of his judgment and outstanding leadership is that in well over 2,600 combat sorties flown under his command, not one pilot was lost, and only one aircraft was lost to enemy action. He personally led over 170 combat missions, more than any other pilot embarked.”
In 1975, Al and Virginia retired to Fripp Island, a place like no other. Al served as a member of the Fripp Island Volunteer Fire Department for 18 years and was active in both the Fripp Island Public Service District and the Fripp Island Marine Rescue.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Virginia; his daughters Margaret (Pat Conniff) and Kristine (Dennis Adams); his son Thomas (Joanne Kyros); and his six treasured grandchildren, Lisa, Laura, Craig, Katherine, Nicholas, and Lindsey. He is predeceased by his son, Cmdr. Albert A Schaufelberger III, a U.S. Navy Seal.
He will be remembered for his intelligence, quick humor, courage, loyalty and love of his family and the sea.
A memorial service was held on Friday, May 30 at 3 p.m. at the All Faiths Chapel, 205 Tarpon Boulevard, Fripp Island, SC followed immediately by a reception.
