Robert E. Schmieg Jr.

I was very sorry to hear that Dr schmieg had passed he was a above all one of the best doctors I have ever had to work with there are very few doctors whom care for his paitents like he did. He saved my life many times and always had great respect and love and concern for me. He has touched my life in away that he will always have a great place in mine and my intire familes. Doctor Schmieg alitte over a year a go was one of the doctors that saved my life if it had not done what he done i...

I joined the faculty at the University of Virginia in 1991 when Bob was a surgery resident and research fellow. Thus, I worked with him for many years in varied capacities. I remember him as a very kind, thoughtful, and giving young man. He also had an inquisitive mind and many interests. It is certainly a tragic loss for his family, his patients, and for all of us.

Bob was a wonderful friend and colleague (we were partners at Wash U in St. Louis). I missed the opportunity to catch up with him during his brief illness, but know that he was surrounded by loving family and friends. His passing serves for me personally as a reminder of how short life is, and the importance of keeping those special close in our lives despite geographic distance. Thank you and God bless you, Bob!

Dear Family:

I am an intensive care physician at Washington University School of Medicine and worked closely with Bob for several years. He and I are on two research papers as well. Bob was a delight to work with. He was a wonderful, caring , dedicated physician who gave his best to his patients. A very bright individual who was always thinking about how to do things better. Loved to chat with him on a number of issues regarding medicine and life in general.
He remained...

Bob was my medical student and later my partner. His good humor brightened the day of patients and partners alike during his time with us in Saint Louis. He always had a smile for everyone he met. He is missed but not forgotten.

You are in my prayers

It is sad to hear of Bob's sudden illness and passing. His family is in our prayers.

I was very sad to hear of Bob's passing.
Bob was not only an amazing doctor and mentor, he was an extremely caring person and good friend to all that knew him. I know he will be greatly missed.

As an RN, I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Schmieg in SICU for over two years. He was a man of many words during rounds and he never missed an opportunity to educate someone on SOMETHING. He & I shared a passion for cat rescue and he always had a story to share about his feline friends. I recall his overwhelming excitement over marrying Susan. I am so sorry that your life together was cut so short. I know his passion for life will be missed by all who knew him.
