To the entire Schachle family and to all of Robbie's friends both past and present, I am so saddened to hear of Robbie's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have such fond and fun memories of Robbie in high school, as well as the Schachle family as a whole. I'll never forget our high school graduation party at the house. We had a great time. My condolences to the family. He will be missed, however, it was good to hear that he enjoyed his life, work, fun, and family. But of course, that is what Robbie always did.

So sorry to the whole family. I did not have the pleasure of really knowing Robert, but I do know his boys. They are strong, proud, hardworking, hardplaying, kind-hearted, upbeat/good-natured young men. Many more adjectives to describe them, but must keep this message short. When I see them love, live & attack life - I see what a good man and father Rob was.

My deepest sympathies, and love for the Schachle Boys. I will miss your dad for he was a great neighbor, and friend, he had a heart of gold. when I needed help he was there. When we had a Bar-BQ he was alway there. It will not be the same with out him. I loved his smile, his laughter, and he was a great dancer.
Me, and my kids will miss you Rob RIP. We will never forget a great man as you. You have done so much for my family. The Memories of Rob Schache will be with us always. Thanks you for being a great neighbor. You where one of a kind.

I remember the day he was brought home from the hospital! He was always so full of life, showed little fear, I guess that's from being the youngest of a large loving family. He always lived life to the fullest. My heart and prayers go out to the whole family. With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Goober, my dear sweet Goober. You have been taken away oh so early from us. I will always remember our childhood days together. You were my bestest friend ever and I will cherish my childhood memories of you. To the Schachle family, the years and miles have separated us physically but you are always in our thoughts - not a Carpenter family gathering that a Schachle, Syren family story isn't told - always cracks us up. So many years together growing up on 72nd, back in the day when we could still ride snowgos and dirt bikes on the road. Such fond, fun memories. My heartfelt sympathy to Rob's boys - I cannot believe they are all grown up and fathers too. I know you will carry on your fathers wonderful ways as you raise your families. Much love to you all.
