Robert ‘Bob’ C. Schrader

Bob was born on April 14, 1932, in Escanaba, the son of Eleanor and Clarence Schrader. He served proudly in the U.S. Navy for four years, owned Anderson Bloom Men’s Clothing Store in downtown Escanaba, and managed Radio Shack in Marinette the remainder of his career. He married Marjorie Walk, daughter of Harold and Ardina (Zander) Walk on Aug. 3, 1957.

Bob was deeply devoted to his family, friends, and church community, and is remembered for his thoughtful, witty and wise nature. He contributed to his communities through the gift of his rich, tenor voice, and spent 37 years directing choir in both Escanaba and Marinette. He participated in numerous Players de Noc productions and sang at hundreds of weddings and funerals. He was a licensed ham radio operator with the Northeast Wisconsin DX Association.

He is lovingly survived by his wife, Marjorie, of 61 years; son, Paul (Patti) Schrader: daughters, Pam (Jim) Hansen and Patty (Jeff) Nault; and five grandchildren, Jeff Hansen, Jimmy Hansen, Jessica (Schrader) Malo, Emily Nault, and Tim Nault; five great-grandchildren, Natalie Hansen, John Hansen, Niklas Hansen, Henrik Hansen, Lena Malo, and soon to be sixth great-grandchild, Baby Malo.
