Robert Schutz Obituary



Robert E. Schutz

Resident of San Jose

Born Houston, Texas, 2/27/1955 - Died October 17, 2010 Los Gatos, California. Devoted father, cherished husband, adored brother, uncle, and good friend. Predeceased by his infant twin daughters Savannah and Katie and his parents Jean and Ted Schutz. Survived by his loving wife Julie, and his beloved sons James, Nicholas and Matthew aged seven. The triplets were the joy of Bob's life and there was nothing he enjoyed more than spending time with his family. He also leaves behind brothers Alan (Chrissie), and Richard (Jodi) and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Bob spent 28 years in Information Technology at Intel Corporation where he met his wife Julie. They spent 20 happy years together. Bob grew up in Florida and enjoyed sailing and scuba-diving in his youth. He had an eclectic taste in music and was a member of MENSA. Bob was a true and loyal friend who touched many lives. He was the most wonderful husband and father and will be truly, truly missed. His death is a shock to us all. He was our "Rock" and will remain in our hearts forever.
