It is with a heavy heart that we relay the sad news that Trustee Edgar H. (Ed) Schollmaier passed away this morning. Trustee Schollmaier had served on the TCU Board of Trustees since 1996. Details regarding services are forthcoming.
He was the head of Alcon when I worked there, and it was a great job right out of TCU.
He truly supported Ft. Worth and TCU, and made both better.
He will be missed.
Will always remember him sitting in that floor level chair right off the mid-court line and always staying until the end of the game. Always interesting to see who his guests were sitting right there beside him. Wish we had more fans as loyal in attendance at the games as Ed was.
Schollmaier grew up in Cincinnati and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Cincinnati. He received his MBA from Harvard. Fort Worth became his home when he moved here with his late wife Rae to take a promotion with Alcon. That’s when he grew an affinity for TCU and the city.
Schollmaier has been recognized as an honorary alumnus and an honorary letterman by TCU.
