Born on April 1, 1929 on his family’s farm west of Halbur, he was the son of Frank and Gertrude (Williams) Schmitz. He attended St. Augustine Catholic School in Halbur. Following his schooling years, he worked at Eischeid Hardware in Halbur. He was married to Vernell Schlichte on April 18, 1950 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Templeton by Fr. Frances Schultes. The couple made their home in Kinross where they owned and operated Schmitz Hardware Store. They moved to Halbur for several years and later to Arcadia where they raised their family and owned and operated Bob’s Hardware and later Bob Schmitz Sales and Service. Bob and Vernell also owned and managed several rental properties. He was a member of the volunteer fire department in Arcadia for many years and became their cook in later years. Bob enjoyed fishing, making his famous horseradish, hunting pigeons in his younger days, making wine, gardening, having mountain oyster and fish fries, and going to the casino. Bob’s famous tag line upon leaving a good visit was “I’ll see ya in the funny papers”. Bob is survived by his daughter, Dr. Bonnie (David); two sons: Ronnie (Denise) and Donnie (Lois); nine grandchildren: Curtis (Stephanie), Jason, Eric (Val), Nathan (Kristi), Tony (Sarah), Suzanne (Troy), Joey, Robert (Linda), and Spencer; seventeen great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law: Juliana, MaryAnn, and Della (Virgil); a brother-in-law, Dale (Theresa); and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Bob was preceded in death by his parents Frank and Gertrude Schmitz; his mother and father-in-law Edward and Katherine Schlichte; his step mother-in-law Regina Schlichte; two sisters: Anita at age 7 and Marcella Klocke (Herb); four brothers: Lawrence in infancy, Ambrose (Stella), Walter (Louise), and Alver; and his wife Vernell on December 17, 2016. And as Bob would always say: “I’ll see ya in the funny papers”!!
