He was born March 28, 1951 in Mankato to Clarence P. and Ruby I. (Lee) Schoeb of St. Peter, MN and was baptized at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Bob attended John Ireland Catholic School and graduated from St. Peter High School in 1969 where he was active in Baseball, Band and Choir; he won many music awards and was selected for the All-State Choir his senior year. He belonged to the Lake Prairie 4-H club and went to the State Fair numerous times.

Bob was a truck driver for the St. Peter Creamery, an employee of Tri-Ag Services and retired as bus driver for the City of St. Peter. He was a gifted musician who sang in choirs his whole life: the Arlington Methodist Church Choir; the Sibley County Chorale and the Minnesota Valley Chorale. When he retired, he would take Sunday drives in his pick-up truck any day of the week that ended in ‘Y’! He was ‘Uncle Bob’ to all of his nieces and nephews and the children of his friends. When he wasn’t singing, he was attending concerts, snowmobiling with friends in Danbury, WI or driving around the countryside!

Robert is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Ruby Schoeb, sister Judy Kitzmann and brothers James and Jon. He is survived by siblings Barbara (Richard) Frank of Nicollet; William (Vicki) of Overland Park, KS; Gregory Schoeb of St. Peter; Jackie Schoeb-Johnson of St. Peter; Russell (Roxanne) Schoeb of St. Peter; sisters-in-law: Marsha Schoeb of Woodstock, GA and Wendy Baptist Schoeb of Reeseville, WI; nieces and nephews: Matthew and Philip Schoeb; Kristine, Kent and Kurt Kitzmann; Emily Schoeb; Samantha and Maddie Johnson; Luke and Myranda Schoeb; and Jake and Jennifer Schoeb.
