We would like to express our sincere condolences on the death of Robert.  He was such a nice person, we always enjoyed visiting him (and Dorothy). He will live on in our memories forever. 

Greetings from Bavaria 😥

Ever since I started my store, I've known him for 14 years. He used to come every Saturday to pick up the Toronto Star. He's a good man and he has a good sense of humor. I miss him a lot and I hope that he is in a good place now. May God bless him on the way to heaven. Lots of love from Everyday Variety on Pharmacy Avenue. 

Robert became a friend a few years ago when I met him at a singles event. He introduced me to the free Sunday concerts at the Scarborough Civic Centre where he always held a vacant space in the front row.
Knowing of his love for Bavarian sausages I arranged to meet him over this last year at the Vienna Meat Market on Birchmount where we could chat while shopping, socially distanced, of course.
It is with deep sorrow that I mourn an old firend.  

I don't know when I first bumped into Bob Schoenwetter , I got in to the habit of skating or swimming on Friday's when I was living at the Bluffs  on my boat 1984/ 87 , I kept that up  on and off over the years when I was in Toronto late Friday morning  shooting the breeze after the morning skate  with a couple of guys over a coffee for an  hour the pandemic put a stop to it a year ago it is kind of sad to have lost contact with him and others Even that we not always looking eye to eye ,  It is nice to have know him ,

Robert has been a neighbor for over 30 years.  He always had a smile for myself and my family.   We are very sorry to hear of his passing...he will be missed! My condolences to his family.

We met Bob  through skating.   Although I did not skate too often with him, he always enjoyed seeing us at McDonalds.   He was a fine, kind gentleman.  He will be missed.
Our condolences to his family.

Very sorry to hear about Roberts passing. I had been taking care of his lawn the last couple years, and didn't know him all that well, but we did get to chat from time to time, and share the odd pabst together. He was a nice man. Hope the family is doing well

We met Robert at the ice skating rink shortly after Robert lost his wife whom he described as an Angel.  We don’t know many husbands who would describe their wives as “Angels”!  Now Robert & his “Angel” are together again.
Robert was very thoughtful calling us to wish us Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday & in fact, he called Dianne the end of Feb. to wish her Happy Birthday.  What a shock to hear from Wanda a few days later that he was gone.  We will always remember our many social get togethers & in particular our evenings of dancing to the Swing Shift Big Band.  
Our condolences to Wanda & his family.  RIP Robert.
Dianne & Barry Drew


ROB LOVED SKATING! And shared this great activity many times a week at Don Montgomery Arena. Gliding around the rink, we had many great conversations: Politics, WWII, Real Estate, Economics, COVID, and of course,  Skating. Spirited discussions with strong opinions, and firm convictions, great great discussions. I also greatly admired his speedy recovery and return to skating following surgery. Rob enjoyed The MacDonalds group and The Sailing team. “FAIR WEATHER”.

My husband Doug and I met Bob through ice skating.  We always enjoyed chatting with him, and appreciated his sense of humour.  We missed him when he could no longer skate with us, but we still had the chance to say hello at McDonalds after our skate!
Our condolences to the family.

So sorry for your loss.   I met Bob through ice skating and was so touched by the fact that he wore his deceased wife’s ring around his neck.

We had a lot of fun times with Bob & Wanda at dances, New Year’s Eve parties etc.

My hubby and Bob loved talking cars.  It was a passion they both shared.

He was a very nice man.

After his wife passed Bob was lost and looking for something to do. I had just bought a sailboat. He had not sailed but he helped me prep. the boat and sail it from Picton to Toronto. He liked a stiff breeze and did not mind when the Lake became rough. He sailed with me often until COVID shut us down.  When I called him he would always reply "Captain".  We were in touch at least 5 days a week. I will miss his calls and sense of humour.   When we sailed from Cobourg to Toronto we encountered thousands of flies. We had stew for lunch which he called  "Fliegen Stew". I am still getting over the shock.
