Robert Schultz

My father was the nicest, most sincere man I''ll ever know. Whenever I needed advice or guidance, he was the first person I turned to. Many thoughts and conversations between my dad and I have gone through my head since 5/17, but the one that I hear again and again is a conversation we had when I left for college. I thought I was all grown up, and my dad told me that he didn''t truly feel like an adult until his early 30s; I still had a lot of growing up to do. Sure, he paid bills, owned a house, worked like mad, but he said it wasn''t until after a truly life changing event forced him to grow up that he really did. At the time, I probably looked at him puzzled for he replied with "You''ll know what I''m talking about." For him, I''m assuming his life changing event was his divorce from my mother. Well, I''m 30, and I now know what he''s talking about. With my father''s passing, I''ve now had my life changing event in my 30s. Gone, is the man whom I looked to for everything. He''s given me the the tools to be a man in his absence, and I will not disappoint him. Dad, I love you. You will be missed more than you realize. I''m greatful you at least got to see me in Dallas, probably more grown up than you''ve ever seen me before. Without you, I wouldn''t have had enough courage to even try.

To Janeen and her mom and dad, You all have my sincere sympathy on the passing of Bob. I just happened upon this obituary today, May 29th. I am so sorry for your loss. It has been a long time since I have seen or talked to Bob, or to any of you for that matter. Please know that I hurt with you and simply cannot believe it yet. All I can tell you is that I''ll pray for you all that God will stop the hurting in your hearts. And you can be certain that Bob is with Jesus now. At peace and in a much better place than here. Sincerely, Candy

Bob was a great man and father to our two sons, Brian and Derek. We all appreciate everything he did for his sons. Jake and Helen raised him to be the great person he turned out to be. There will forever be a void in all of our hearts.

Many a lunch and break were spent with Bob at Johnson Controls. He made Department 32 a fun place to work in. Bob was a cool guy to be around - he had a good attitude and great sense of humor. I smile now, thinking of Bob - Glad to have known you!

Bob and I started at Harley Davidson about the same time and my heartfelt condolences go out to all of Bob''s family. Words are never enough. Bob will be truly missed at work also. Think of all the good memories and do take care, John Krummel

My deepest sympathies go out to your family. As Bob''s former WGA at Pilgrim Rd., I can tell you he was one of the most intelligent and hardest working employees at the plant. Bob never refused to go the extra mile to help the area. I will miss him greatly as a coworker and a friend. My prayers go out to his family.

To friends and family- We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the sudden death of Bob. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Brian and Derek- we are here for you. We know you will miss your father greatly. You have our deepest sympathy. We will see you tonight. Remember you have friends and family who care about you and are thinking about you in this difficult time of sorrow. Love, Jill and Luke

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Bob will be missed very much at Harley-Davidson.

To Bobs Family, As a co-worker of Bobs at Harley Davidson, I will miss our chats, Bob was a great guy, and he will be missed. My condolences.

Jake, Helen & Jeanine, I know words cannot ease the grief you are feeling at this moment for the sudden loss of Robert at such a young age. Please accept our condolences and pass them on to his Family. Our thoughts are with you at this sorrowful time.
