Robert John Schoonmaker Jr.

Bob was a cousin we didn´t know we had. My grandmother Ruth H Schoonmaker Brooks lived in Athens NY. Coach "Schooey" coached my son Douglas @ RPI. Those were some fun years for our family. We got to know Dorey & the kids. I was shocked when I heard of Bob´s passing. Time does heal the pain but it will always linger. Until we meet again, RIP Bob

Our deepest condolences and sorry we were unable to attend the wake . We have many happy memories of Bobby

There are no words to express how sorry we all are to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a special person who we were always so happy to see. We will always remember how friendly he was. He will be greatly missed.

I knew Bobby as an above average Social Studies student, an All Area linebacker and a valuable member of the coaching staff at RPI. I remember his toughness and loyalty. Like so many of the kids from Watervliet, I loved him. I hope he knew that.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Scoohney family. Rest in peace Bob you will definitely be missed.

My prayers are with you and yours! I am so sorry for your loss... .... He was a wonderful man!! He will be missed.

I coached Bobby at Watervliet high school and he was an outstanding football player. I don't think he weighed 150 pounds but he was a great linebacker. The way he tackled ball carriers couldn't be taught. He will be missed. My sincere sympathy goes to his wife and family.

My condolences to family and friends

Schoony was an excellent Correction Officer and an even better person. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Sincerest condolences to his family.
