Bob's Memorial: One Year On

Good evening everyone,

We just wanted to share the news that we have now activated Bob's Memorial page and added it to the site. You can find it on the site's navigation bar or by clicking this link.

"Everything that we do at CLBDI is, in one way or another, done in memory of Robert "Bob" Schmidt. Bob passed away a year ago today after his battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, educator and so much more. He was a Lewy Warrior. His story and others just like it are why we continue to advocate for LBD patients and educate the public."

You are all welcome to leave your own comments, tributes or memories at the bottom of the site.

Best,
Joe

I have fond memories of golfing with Bob. Whenever we went golfing, Bob seemed to know everyone at the course. People would go out of their way to come over and chat with Bob. He remembered everyone's name and had such a natural ability to relate to each person.

Bob played golf like he played life. He had such an easy swing, but with a strength that pushed the ball forward. It really reflected his daily life - a gentle giant, we such a relaxed demeaner, but an inner strength.

He never got frazzled by a difficult hole. If his ball did not land on the fairway, he did not get upset. He just hit it again from the rough and moved on.
Even as the LBD started, Bob seemed to maintain his composure. His health took him off the fairway, but he continued to do life as best he could from the rough.

I hope that there will be golf in heaven. Because I would like to play some more rounds with my dear friend Bob.
