Robert "Bob" W. Schroth, Sr.

January 5, 1960 — December 6, 2020

Robert “Bob” W. Schroth, Sr., 60, of Indiana, passed away Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020, at Indiana Regional Medical Center.

A son of Kenneth and Connie White Schroth, he was born Jan. 5, 1960, in Indiana.

Bob was a graduate of Indiana High School and had worked for the Toretti family for the past 36 years. He was strong in his faith. Bob was a member of the Bethel Presbyterian Church, where he served on many church committees. He was always helping someone. If you looked up the definition of “busy”, it would say “Bob”. He didn’t know the meaning of the word “no”. Bob was famous for his no bake cookies and was an award-winning winemaker. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping, and loved spending time with his family and grandkids.

He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Fran Langham Schroth, of Indiana; three children: Janelle Newhouse and husband Pete, of Lucernemines; Bobby Schroth and wife Sarah, of Indiana; Noelle Patterson and husband Derek, of Creekside; five siblings: Sue Smith and husband Ed; Ken Schroth, Jr. and wife Sue; Donna Wiley and husband Joe; Barb Uthe; Dave Schroth and wife Donna; 10 grandchildren: Mikey Newhouse, Aubree Newhouse, Alexis Newhouse, Taryne Newhouse, Tenley Newhouse, Jacob Schroth, Hudson Schroth, Bentley Patterson, Andie Patterson, Amelia Patterson; and numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and many other loving family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Funeral Home. The service will be live streamed on Robinson-Lytle-Shoemaker Facebook page starting at 11 a.m. Saturday.
