Robert Richard Schaefer

It was a pleasure for so many years to serve you in a few of our local restaurants. I always looked forward to you and your friends early in the morning for coffee and solving the world's problems. It was always good to have you and the fishing club for your monthly breakfast. Thank you for many years of stories, laughter and a few aggravating mornings.. Roberta, my condolences to you and the family. Your waitress Karen.

Although we had been separated I still loved the man you were. I kept my promise to you "till death do us part " You always were My Marine. The memories you built with the grandkids will always be remembered. They still talk about fishing, working at the donut shop and going to Luigi´s. You hold a special place in all of our hearts. Yours forever. Love, Bert

Grandpa Bob, I will always cherish the memories I made with you fishing out on the Gulf during the summers I visited you and Grandma. Thank you for treating me so well and giving me the privilege to say that I had five grandparents. Love you always, Dave (grandson)

Bob- I´ve been trying to sum up in a short message how much your "charming, wit and personality" was special and will be missed by Bob, myself and your grandson (David Cartwright) . I thank you for the experiences/memories and weeks in the summers you spent with David which allowed him to build a relationship with you and his grandmother (Roberta). We have the memories of you on the cruises especially when you and Roberta won the "Twist contest" and many more ... Rest in Peace..."Sweet Ol...

Bob,
Thank you for loving our Mom, Roberta, for the past 40+ years. When you married her, you inherited your bonus family including 4 children, 16 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.
You had touched our lives in many different ways; taking the grandkids fishing, giving them shark teeth and taking them to Luigi’s.
You always made me feel special when you introduced me as “Your Daughter “.
We shared numerous good memories including...

May your family find comfort in All the fond memories of your Dad. My parents, Norman and Edith Stewart, Uncle Red and Aunt Betty Herman, and your parents were all friends in Chicago and continued here in Florida until all of live took them in different directions. I will pass on the news of your Dad's passing to my Herman "family", in the Panhandle of Florida. Our 6 parents are enjoying a fun game of poker, for sure. God Bless you all. Jude Stewart Hobson

My sincere sympathies to all the family. He was a great friend to my husband. Many great times and memories. RIP.

Bob, you will be dearly missed despite the fact that you always had to remind EVERYBODY that I was older than you. You were a good friend, a great fisherman and a smart "jack of all trades" and to sum it up, a good man. Love and God bless.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
