  Eric Scheib
  1957 - 2026
  Eric Scheib, 68, of Lower Paxton Township, transitioned from this earth on March 6, 2026, after a battle with lung cancer. Born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, he was the son of Donald and Janice Scheib.
  Eric had a way of approaching life with curiosity, confidence, and a readiness for whatever came next. Whether riding a motorcycle, fixing something at home, or heading out to see what was around the next bend, he believed life was meant to be lived in the moment.
  Eric’s life followed an interesting and adventuresome path:
  After graduating from Tri-Valley High School, he enlisted in the United States Navy. When his service ended, he returned home and began work as a skilled welder at ACF Industries, where he spent 25 years building railroad cars. Later, as a proud union member, Eric joined Norfolk Southern, spending 20 years as a conductor and Locomotive engineer. In one of life’s ironies he eventually found himself driving and hauling the very railcars he had once built.
  Eric had an adventurous and spontaneous spirit. Motorcycles, open roads, and the possibility of a new adventure were always welcome.
  At the same time, he had a quieter side. Eric especially enjoyed spending time with family, gardening, scenic vacations, birdwatching, and long hikes hand in hand with his wife and their favorite pups.
  Sports fans knew where his loyalties were. Eric was a die-hard fan of Penn State, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles—you could usually tell by the hat he was wearing.
  He was a member of the Free and Accepted Masons and attended the Unitarian Church of Harrisburg.
  Eric is survived by his wife of 30 years, Kate Scheib, and his children Vanessa (Shane), Nick (Lisa), Jessica, Jamie (Travis), Toni (Jeremy), and Erica—though anyone who knew Eric also knew, with a wink, that Nick was his favorite. He is also survived by his siblings Keith, Fred, and his beloved sister Polly, 18 grandchildren, and his faithful black lab Tiva and ornery black cat D’Laila.
  A lifelong tinkerer and hobbyist home remodeler, Eric approached projects the same way he approached life—with persistence and confidence.
  His philosophy was simple.
  “There ain’t nothing that can’t be fixed.”
  And for a man who spent decades on the railroad, it feels fitting to say:
  The call for his final run has come, and the signals ahead are clear.
  A Celebration of Life will be held at the Unitarian Church of Harrisburg, Clover Lane, on Saturday, April 11th at 4PM. All are welcome. Later, on June 20th, a lively Summer Solstice celebration in Eric’s honor will take place at Eric & Kate’s home. Interment with military honors will take place at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery at the convenience of the family.
  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to:
  Carolyn’s Hospice Residence, 1701 Linglestown Road, Harrisburg, PA 17110.²
