Robert Scheffert

Robert A. “Bob” Scheffert Underhill Robert Allen “Bob” Scheffert, 74 passed away unexpectedly of natural causes at his home on Monday November 28, 2011. He was born in Bartonville, IL on October 8, 1937 son of the late Raymond and Delphine (Kelley) Scheffert. Bob married the former Brigid Scriber on April 21, 1978 in Peoria, Illinois. After retiring from the corporate printing industry, Bob spent several years working for Bianchi Stone Crafters in Essex Center. Few people worked longer, stronger, or harder than Bob. Only his beloved Chicago Bears could entice him away from his many projects. He never passed up a good bargain, a spin on the dance floor, or a chance to show his skills in the game of Euchre. Bob’s sense of humor endeared him to everyone he met and his jovial and out-going nature made him a magnet for children of all ages. Bob was a true-blue, dedicated, and loving father, grandfather, husband, and friend. He will be dearly missed. He is survived by: his loving wife of 33 years Brigid (Scriber) Scheffert of Underhill; three daughters: Audra Scheffert of Nashua, NH; Shannon Morton and husband Randy of Mascotte, FL; Christine Backurz and husband Ken of Shalimar, FL; three grandchildren: Alec Morton, Jessica Backurz and Chris Backurz all of Florida; his Uncle George Watters, Bartonville, IL; his brothers Gary and Edwin and his sister Del; many nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous close friends. He was also predeceased by his daughter Lisa Renee Scheffert. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Scheffert home from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 3, 2011. Memorial contributions in Bob’s memory may be made to Camp Daybreak, in care of VAMHAR, P.O. Box 165, Montpelier, VT 05601.
