Mr. John B. Schnure

John B. Schnure. John Bunnell Schnure died peacefully on January 12, 2024 at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington after an extended illness. He was born November 6, 1950 in Johnstown Pennsylvania. As a child, he spent many summers at his grandparent’s home on the Delaware River, creating lifelong memories with his three siblings and beloved Schnure cousins. In 1964, his family moved to Valparaiso, Indiana, where he graduated from Valparaiso High School in 1968. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Cincinnati, where he was active in student government, serving as Student Body President in his senior year. He later moved to New York City, and earned a Master’s of Business Administration from Columbia University in 1976. Upon graduation, he relocated to Chicago to begin a career with Northern Trust Bank. He recalled the 10 years he spent at Northern Trust as the fondest of his career, and he forged many long-lasting friendships during his time there. John was a 42-year resident of the Barrington area, 30 of which were spent living in the Biltmore neighborhood of North Barrington. He served on the Board of Trustees of the Village of North Barrington for many years. A devoted fan of the Chicago Bears, in the days before his passing he lamented that the final Bears game of his life resulted in a loss to the rival Green Bay Packers, but considered it to be fitting for a long-suffering Bears fan. Survivors include his two children, Katherine (Thomas Wall) Schnure-Wall and Erika (Anthony) Martinez, one grandchild, Margaret Victoria Wall, and two step-grandchildren, Arianna and Octavian Giampaoli-Martinez. He is also survived by his three siblings, Arthur (Trisha), William (Becky Bosworth), and Carolyn (Robb) Hill, the mother of his children, Victoria Schnure, and many cherished cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Anne Schnure.
