Robert W Schumann

To the family of Bob: I extend my sympathies. It was my pleasure to know Bob for the last 10 months of his life. It was a delight to watch him take care of his tomatoes at Emerson. May God comfort those who mourn. May your memories sustain you until you are reunited in Heaven.

Bob was a delight to everyone he knew. In caring for him I quickly realized that he was one of the most genuine, kind, and caring souls I have ever met. It's been one of the hardest things to not be able to be by his side these last 6 months and my heart broke when I recieved the news of his passing. I know his wife meant the absolute world to him and that he is so happy to be reunited with her. I also know his heaven is filled with endless tomato gardens for him to tend to. Bob was a one in a life time gem.

Bob was a true gentleman! In working with him at Emerson, he was always pleasant and patient, and had a unique set of interests that he shared in his quiet way. I send my condolences to his family, and I will think of Bob in the years ahead - especially in tomato season!
