The Schnuck Family

The Schnuck Family, Craig '66, Scott '68, Terry '71, Mark '74, Todd '77 and Nancy (Diemer) '83—along with their cousin Stephanie Schnuck Sterkel—was featured in the 1.24.10 St. Louis Post-Dispatch as Citizen(s!) of the Year. "The Schnucks are so accustomed to working as a family that when civic leaders recently approached Scott Schnuck, the company's chairman and CEO, about recognizing him as Citizen of the Year, he insisted that his siblings — and even a cousin who also is a shareholder — share the spotlight, too. 'For the sake of family harmony,' Scott Schnuck said, 'it's important to me that the whole family share in it.' So for the first time, this award, which is sponsored by the Post-Dispatch, is going to an entire family. The winner is chosen every year by a committee of previous recipients. The honor has a special meaning for the Schnucks because their father, Don Schnuck, received it in 1990, and their uncle, Ed Schnuck, won it in 1979. . . .'This is a really terrific St. Louis story to have a multigenerational family that has done so many good things in the community,' said Andrew Taylor [JBS '66], CEO of Enterprise Rent-A-Car Co. and a previous award winner."
