Memorial held for Schul
l
SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP)— Tennis
great Billie Jean King, cartoonist Cathy
Guisewite and other fans of Charles
Schulz remembered the “Peanuts” creator
Monday as a humble genius who never re
alized until his dying days how much the
world loved him.
The timing of Schulz’s death from
colon cancer nine days ago, just as his fi
nal strip was being published, was no co
incidence, said Meredith I lodges, the old
est of his five children.
“He was taken from this world to the
next at the most sacred of moments for him
because he earned it,” she told the audi
ence of more than 2,000, which filled an
arts center in the town where Schulz lived
for more than half of his 77 years.
Schulz’s widow, Jeanne, said the
world’s most widely syndicated cartoon
ist was a humble artist who never realized
how beloved his creations were until after
he decided in November that he was too i 11
to continue the strip.
“He could not know the extent of the
impact he had made. I believe that’s what
these last months have been about,” she
said. “My comfort comes from knowing
that he fully received the love and appre
ciation that poured out to him.”
Schulz, who made more than $30 mil
lion a year from the “Peanuts” strip and the
many products, videos and licensing deals
it generated, is better known in town for
giving than receiving, both publicly and
anonymously.
His money founded or fostered a
' symphony, community foundation, li
brary, housing development, dogs-for-
the-disabled training center and many
other projects in the area, as well as the
Redwood Empire Ice Arena where
Schulz played hockey.
“He was just a good man,” said Doug
Lightfoot, a retired pharmacist "l*
called how Schulz let his wife’stw
campfire girls skate for free. “He«i
ways very supportive of the comm®
Guisewite, who draws the coitus
“Cathy,” said Schulz sought heroill
time to time. One day, he called her
he couldn’t think of anything to dm'
“l said 'What are you talking!
you’re Charles Schulz!”’she said®
ing how reassuring it-felt to know#
the greatest struggle sometimes.
After the ceremony, the crowd
fed chocolate chip cookies
beer — standard fare for the “Pel
gang.” British World War Twi

Schulz was buried in nearh)
