Robert Schuh
Chilton - Robert Joseph Schuh, 93, of Chilton, WI, died on May 1, 2018 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. He was born October 16, 1924, son of Nick and Anna (Denk) Schuh. On September 15, 1951, he married Angeline Shimek and together they had three sons.
Robert was a highly decorated World War II Air Force veteran, flying a mind-numbing 35 missions over hostile German skies as a waist-tail gunner on the B-17 Flying Fortress. He was a VFW and 8th Air Force member. He taught freshman English for 30 years at Chilton High School. He is remembered fondly by many of his former students. He was an avid sports enthusiast and "stat man" at football, basketball, and track events. Besides umpiring and coaching various sports, he loved to "putz around" as he watched his sons do all the heavy lifting.
Robert is survived by his sons Gregory and Mark (Rosa) Schuh; his grandchildren: Olivia, AJ, and Dominic; and his brother, Allen (Pat) Schuh.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Angeline; his son, Gerald; his brothers: Leonard and Roger; and his sisters: Lorraine Massman, Rosie Cain, Marilyn Kelp, Germaine Neunfeldt, and Gail Armbruster.
