Robert “Bob” J. Schmid,
Age 85 of Shoreview MN passed away peacefully on April 26th, 2020.
Born February 15th, 1935 in St. Paul, MN. Bob was a simple, humble man with an infectious laugh and smiling blue eyes. While he never liked being the center of attention, his very presence and generous spirit drew you to him. He had a larger than life personality with a bit of mischief and was always in on the joke.
He married his loving wife of 50 years, Janet on July 31st,1954. Together they raised their 7 children in Roseville MN. Bob worked for Brown and Bigelow, the US Postal Service, and finally at Murphy Warehouse where he retired in 1990. He was an avid bowler, card and pool player. He loved to gamble and play games with his family and friends. He wasn’t afraid to take a risk and his wisdom and life experiences were the foundation of his sound advice.
Bob loved the outdoors and sunshine, he enjoyed nature and gardening and his favorite pastime was a cold beer on the deck with his children. He always had a great story to tell. His sharp wit and ability for embellishment could keep you laughing for hours.
He was passionate about many things, world history, geography, football and boxing to name a few, but his greatest love was for his family and his greatest pride was in his grandchildren. He was so loved by everyone who knew him and he will be greatly missed.
He was preceded in death by his wife Janet, brother Richard and parents Fred and Clara Schmid.
He is survived by his 7 children; Karen, Kenneth, Sharon (Bryan Miller), Robert (Coleen), Beth (Scott) Pederson, Barbara (Shawn) Smith, Jeannie (Mark Nelson), 5 grandchildren; Amanda (Forrest Olinger), Michael Pederson (Leah Edelman-Brier), David (Kristina), Samantha Smith, Steven Pederson, 1 great-grandchild; Nora, 3 sisters; Shirley Kroska, Kathy (Pat) Riley, Janice Schmid, many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
A private family service will be held at Roselawn Cemetery in Roseville, MN.
