Scholtz, Jr. died at Essex Meadows Health Center, Essex, CT on Thursday, June 26th as a consequence of complications resulting from a fall and surgery to repair a broken hip two weeks earlier.

Henrique Scholtz of Caracas and Catarina van Daalen, of Curacao, Netherlands, Antilles, Henry Scholtz came to the United States with his family at age 7. He attended schools in Brooklyn, NY where he left Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute after his junior year at age 16 to attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology from which he received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1923. After a career of a few years with the City Service Co. in New York City as a civil engineer, Mr. Scholtz joined his family's firm on Wall Street, Scholtz & Co., which specialized in dealing in cocoa and coffee beans and other products from Latin America. He continued with Scholtz & Co. until he retired as Chairman in 1980, when Cargill, Inc. of Minneapolis, MN, acquired the firm. Military service included a post ROTC period as an US Army Reserve lieutenant after graduation from college and duty on coast patrol with the US Coast Guard Reserve during WWII. Mr. Scholtz became interested in sailing and sailboat racing during the late 1930's. He participated extensively in racing at Riverside Yacht Club, Riverside, CT, his town of residence from many years. He served on sailing race committees at both Riverside Yacht Club and the New York Yacht Club, where he was also a member. At the New York Yacht Club he was involved in the management of several America's Cup regattas off Newport, Rhode Island. He had recently become a member of the Essex Yacht Club. His wife, Angel (Williams) Scholtz, and his tow sons, Andrew A. and Frederick H. Scholtz, both of whom followed in their father's footsteps as members of New York Yacht Club Race Committee, survive Mr. Scholtz. Seven Grand Children and thirteen great-grandchildren also survive him. Contributions in memory of Mr. Scholtz may be made to Essex Meadows Foundation, Inc., 30 Bokum Road, Essex, CT 06426.
