Robert V. Scheetz 1946-2025

Bob was born in Youngstown on May 30, 1946, the son of the late Walter Joseph and Anne L. McGraw Scheetz, and was a lifelong area resident.

He attended St. Patrick’s school and graduated from Cardinal Mooney, Class of 1964. Bob graduated from the University of Detroit with a bachelor’s degree in English.

Bob was a self-employed contractor. He was his own hardest worker; he felt he could fix anything and everything. Nothing was beyond reason for him to repair.

He enjoyed reading and especially loved a good debate. Bob was very passionate about Shakespeare and poetry.

Bob was a kind and gentle man, always very loyal and conscientious. Family was everything to him.

Leaving to cherish his memory are his sisters, Mary Scheetz of Youngstown and Kathryn Flesse of Medina, and brother, Thomas (Alejandra) Scheetz of Buenos Aires.

Bob had a special relationship with his nieces and nephews, Charles “Kenny” (Lisa) Flesse, Kristine (John) Korber, Thomas (Amanda) Flesse and Erin (Kevin) Thies, plus several great-nieces and great-nephews.

Besides his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, Charles Flesse.
