Robert Schuster

Robert Schuster, lovingly remembered as a devoted father, cherished friend, and remarkable gentleman, passed away on January 14, 2025, at the age of 85. He was born on August 17, 1939, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Joseph and Nellie (Ruwan) Schuster.
Robert graduated from Elder High School and further pursued his studies at the University of Cincinnati. His strong sense of duty and dedication to his country led him to serve in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, where he showcased his remarkable character by befriending and feeding the local children and serving our country.
In 1967, Robert met the love of his life, Bernardina "Yvonne" Vandegeer, and they celebrated their union on October 5th. Together, they were blessed with two beautiful daughters, Sherry and Tammy, both of whom brought immense joy into his life.
For many years, Robert worked as a purchasing agent, building enduring relationships and earning the respect of all who knew him. Beyond his professional pursuits, he had a passion for life and a sweet tooth that was truly unmatched-his love for chocolate chip cookies and Dove chocolates was legendary among his family and friends.
Robert found joy in the simple pleasures, from watching Hallmark movies to traveling, with a special fondness for Hawaiian cruises. Known for his infectious sense of humor, he was always the one to brighten a room with laughter, often playing light-hearted pranks and even dancing on local television with his beloved cousin, Donna..
