Because our dad was adamant that the celebration of his life in the midst of a pandemic not risk the safety of his family, friends and colleagues, there will be no wake.
He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife Jeanette, to whom he was married 64 years. He missed her every day following her death in 2014.
He is survived by three children: Maryellen (Glen) Thompson of Williamsburg, VA; Jim (Renee) Schreiber of Dubuque; and Dr. Ann Schreiber, also of Dubuque; four grandchildren Zachary (Jana) Schreiber of Orlando, FL; Andrea (Dr. James) Quann of Des Moines, IA, LT. Andrew Ferring of Norfolk, VA; and Martha (Jared) Levy of Dubuque who have among them 6 great-grandchildren: Reagan and Hudson Schreiber, Brendan, Thomas, Audra Quann, and Calvin Levy.
He is also survived by his brother John (Mary Ann) Schreiber.
He was preceded in death by parents Carl & Emily, sisters Mary and Marita, brothers Fred and Charlie and all their spouses.
Robert was a veteran of WW II. After the war he graduated from Loras College and enjoyed a long career at Interstate Power Company (now Alliant Energy).
He retired at 62 and spent years exploring the country.
His children thank him for trying to instill common sense and real life practical skills.
He will be remembered for his endless stories, his constant supply of jokes and his dry sense of humor. He was a kind man, and a kind gentleman, who will live on in the hearts of many who knew him.
A very special thanks to the staff of Grand Meadows facility.
A memorial Fund is being established in lieu of flowers.
