Robert Logan Schuler, Jr.

Robert Logan Schuler, Jr., affectionately known as Bobby, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2024, in Mount Washington, Kentucky. Born on June 8, 1946, in Louisville, Kentucky, Bobby dedicated his life to his career as a mechanic, a profession that he pursued with passion and skill.

Bobby's love for life extended beyond the garage; he found joy in riding his motorcycle and engaging with friends and family. He was known for his charismatic personality and was often regarded as a ladies' man, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know him.

He also leaves behind his sisters, Shelia Schneider (Kenny) and Debbie Herdt (Emery), and his brothers, Delbert Willis (Trudy) and Victor Willis (Sharon). Bobby's legacy continues through his 27 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren, all of whom cherished their time with him.

He was preceded in death by his sons, Melvin Sutherland and Jesse Sutherland; his father, Robert Logan Schuler, Sr.; his mother, Virginia Henderson Willis; and his stepfather, Robert Willis. Each of these individuals played a significant role in his life, and their memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
