Linus M. Schack, 63, liked putting on fairs
Linus M. Schack had probably missed only one Alexandria Fair and Horse Show in his 63 years.
Mr. Schack, who died Sunday at his home in California, really liked the idea of putting on a county fair and having lots of attractions, said his wife, Mary Jane Schack.
He was a quiet person who loved seeing people having a good time, she said.
About 20 years ago, he started working with the fair board, which is formally called the Campbell County Agricultural Society.
A few years later he became a director, then president and later vice president.
He also served on the horse show committee of the Kentucky Association of Fairs and Horses.
Although he never showed horses himself, he went to many shows with his son, Jim Shack, who started showing them about 14 years ago.
Some of his grandchildren show them too.
Mr. Schack drove a concrete truck for LN Concrete Materials in Erlanger for more than 30 years before his retirement in 2002.
A member of Sts. Peter and Paul parish in California, Mr. Schack also belonged to a Catholic benevolence organization, the Catholic Order of Foresters.

Their four children all live within half a mile of them, his wife said.
