I am so thankful for Mr. Schmalfuss. I learned so much from him, and I can remember so much from his class - and that shows what kind of teacher he was! His class was full of stories, laughs, and serious talks from time to time. Here are some of the things I remember:
-Camels are his favorite animals!
-"Colder than a polar bear's nose"
-Recollections from his time at the North Pole
-Dixie Land Jazz, not 7/11 songs
-"Neat, Reat, and Complete"
-"See you around...

Belva, it really seems such a short time since we saw you in your wedding dress...and of course it isn't. I remember when you were worried about Bob's health, about 27 years ago, and you had to learn to cook "less southern" food! You did a wonderful job of keeping him healthy, and built one of the best families I know. He was a very special, kind man, with an enthusiastic committment to teaching, music and helping others. Wonderful memories, and we are so sorry for your loss and the rest...

Schmo was a wonderful teacher while my children attended NFC in the 1990s.
He took a genuine concern in his students and how he taught them. You do not see that in teachers now.
He supported the athletics at the school, and he was hilarious at basketball and softball games.
Our hope and prayer for his family is that the memories of your husband and Dad, and how he touched so many students and their parents lives will be a sense of comfort for you all at this sad time.

We were blessed to have known Bob during our tenure at NFCS. He was a joy to know and was overflowing with love for the Lord and for his students. Well done, good and faithful servant!
