Rest in Peace Dear Robert

ROBERT SCHINK

AUGUST 16, 1921- SEPTEMBER 16, 2010



Robert
and I met in 1979 and were friends for 30 years. He was a WW2 veteran
and spent 50 years selling Fuller Brush products for 50 years.



He
and his partner, James, together for 52 years, moved down here from
Cleveland 50 years ago. bought a home and made a productive, happy life,
making many friends.



Robert
loved to travel, had an extensive stamp collection and, yes, something
he was very proud of, was greatly admired sexually for his stamina.

 

Sadly
in the past few years he did not have an easy time of it physically
having had a knee replacement followed by a hip replacement and then a
bout with prostate cancer. The last time I saw him he didn't know me and
I knew it would be the last time I would see him.



Rest in peace Robert and thanks for all the good times we shared.

A man who sold Fuller brushes all his life. Must have been good at it.

A real Fuller Brush man, that brings back memories for me actually. You have had so many good friends.

At 84 he was still going door to door in the Florida heat!
