Dear Mary, Frank, Cathy, and families:
We delighted in Bob, when he and his family became part of our extended family. He was a very enjoyable companion with a great sense of humor. We are saddened by his death but rejoice in his faith and are confidant of the resurrection to eternal life. Our prayers are with you all.

Dear Family of Bob,
I had the privelege of meeting Bob while supervising recess duty at QAS. I immediately felt a connection with him. He was like a grandfather to my daughter and other kids at recess. His presence was very appreciated by myself and the kids. They enjoyed his jokes and his games from the newspaper that he would bring to share with the kids during recess. I mentioned to him that my daughter no longer had the influence of a grandfather in her life and that she would really enjoy interacting with him and he immediately began doing so. It was a joy to watch him and the kids and see the connection they had. I will miss him greatly.
Sincerely, Jane Lehmann

Dear Schuler Family,
Coach Schuler had a big influence on me while playing soccer at St. Joan of Arc years ago. As our coach he taught us the game and life. He was such a giving person and one that I try to emulate. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. He was a very positive force during his time with us.

Bob was such an incredible person. I always looked forward to QAS recess duty because I could watch how Bob interacted with the kids through his jokes and games. They loved him so much. Our kindergarteners often talk about Mr. Schuler. He has touched so many lives - I feel blessed we had the opportunity to know him. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Schuler Family...
We send our thoughts and prayers to you during this time.

"Bobo" was so dear to all. He was such a gentle, caring, loving and faith-filled man. He always had a joke to share and a kind word.

Connor shared a memory of when he took Daniel and Connor on their first hike at Cliff Cave, not too mention many other adventures! We will miss his smile, jokes and friendship at all the sporting events.

We pray that you are comforted by all the wonderful memories!
