Obituary of Robert (Bob) Edward Schmidt

June 28, 1944 - February 8, 2020 It is with deep and profound sadness that our families announce that Bob has lost his battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Dearly loved husband (38 years) of H. Carol Schmidt (née Laws). Loving father of Mike (April), Jen, Andy and Steve (Anabelle) and step son Morgan Beare. Cherished grandfather of Brodie, Jordan, Hailey, Keelin, Josh, Thomas, Calvin and Ivy and great-uncle ’Bubba’ to Rebecca and Nicholas Walchyshyn. Predeceased by his mother Wilhelmine (née Steinke) and his father Dr. Norman Philip Schmidt (veterinarian). Bob was their only child. Bob was born in Kitchener, attended Shepherd PS, Eastwood Collegiate and WLU (Waterloo Lutheran University). He received his Master of Education from the University of Windsor. Bob taught in Toronto and Kitchener, finishing his career as Principal of Waterloo-Oxford in 1998. He was the Chair and/or President of many organizations in education, church and our community. He enjoyed a good laugh, was always ready to help others in the community. Bob was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia on November 7, 2017. He fought it as hard and long as he could; our Lewy Warrior. We would like to thank the excellent care Bob received from the wonderful staff at Sunnyside, (Laurel Creek). Thanks especially to Natalia Busch and her team as well as Chaplain Ingrid Loepp-Thiessen. We would also like to thank Dr. M. Tripic, and Dr. T. Irvine.
