Robert J. Schuenemann, Sr.

Robert Joseph Schuenemann Sr., age 92, entered Heaven on August 9, 2019 while surrounded by his adoring children. His humble nature, dedication to prayer and devotion to Christ through his Catholic Faith allowed him to transform the lives of all who knew him.

Robert was a loving husband to his "sweetie pie" the late Edith (maiden name Vitale), an exemplary father to Robert Jr. (fiancé Michelle, deceased), Judith Keepers (John, deceased), Debra Wagner (William), Susan Jones (Edward, deceased), Lisa Brown (Michael) and a doting Pop Pop to Robert, Valerie, William, Ryan, Kimberly, Matthew, Michelle, Samuel, Nevan (deceased), Finn and Gianna. The long list of extended family, friends and neighbors whom he loved and influenced is notable and he will be greatly missed by all.Despite early health challenges, Robert excelled in track and enjoyed induction into the Track and Field Hall of Fame in both high school and college. He attended St. Thomas More High School and earned degrees in accounting and theology at St. Joseph's University after being awarded a full scholarship for track and field. Robert served as an accountant for US Steel for over 35 years and continued to work in part time positions after retirement.

His hobbies included tennis and his involvement with his parish of 55 years, Queen of the Universe, is what he enjoyed most. He was a member of Shanahan Catholic Group and served also as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist.
