Bob changed many lives with his generosity of spirit, and his impish wit endeared him to friends and strangers alike.  His greatest pleasure was uplifting others, but a close second was zipping around town in his black Beetle.  He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Janice, his daughter Brooke of New York City and a brother Richard of Hamilton, Ohio.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Saturday, January 9, 2016 at Zechar Bailey Funeral Home in Greenville.  In honor of Bob, the Schooley family will match all donations made in his honor to the State of the Heart Hospice Care Center, whose devoted staff provided Bob with truly exceptional care:  https://www.stateoftheheartcare.org/make-a-donation/.
