The Very Reverend Robert Downes Schenkel Jr.

With much love from Jack and Hannah Gambino to the Schenkel family.

Both of my children Holly and Dale Matthew were baptized by him at the Church Of the Good Shepherd - my daughter had open heart surgery and Anne Schenkel was so supportive off us during this difficult time. Ruth Matthew Nashua, NH

Father Schenkel is how I knew him as a child. Was confirmed into the Episcopal Church under his time shepherding in Nashua. He was a man I will always remember. He always had time for everyone. Even for a young man who still believes in Christ Jesus today. Thank you for your influence Rev. Schenkel.

Our family knew Rev. Schenkel and his beautiful family from their time, in Nashua, as our neighbors. He was an incredible man, friend to all and and wonderful role model. I never knew that he was a veteran; thank you for your service. To our long ago neighbors and friends, the Schenkel, please accept our most sincere condolences. May God Bless you all. The EVANS family (Priscilla, Lynn, Scott & Sue)

My daughter Sarah just told me, while we were discussing his passing, that , when she was a little girl growing up at the cathedral, she thought his first name was Dean! I have wonderful memories of both Anne and him and was privileged to know him and his wisdom when he served as treasurer of the board at the South Bethlehem Neighborhood Center. May the soul of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace.
