Robert E. Schmader, "Bob" ,  age 57, of Newtown Square, PA, died peacefully at home on April 13, 2014 after a brave and inspiring battle with pancreatic cancer.

The beloved son of Rosemary (nee Tobin) and  the late James Schmader, his hero, he was born on June 25, 1956 in Bryn Mawr, PA.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 28 years, Susan Jordan-Schmader, and adored children, Jaclyn and Daniel. He is also survived by his dear siblings, Laurie VanTrieste (David), Lynn Forster (the late Don), and Barry (Liz -nee Costa).

Bob was employed in the financial industry for many years, most recently with PNC Bank. Bob spent many years as a devoted coach, fan and referee of Radnor Township sports. His enthusiasm for developing players and youth sports was admired by many and will be sorely missed in the community.  He considered his greatest accomplishment by far as raising his children into happy successful adults.

Relatives and friends are invited to Bob's Life Celebration Mass on Monday  April 21,   11 AM at Our Mother of Good Counsel Church, 31 Pennswood Road, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 with family visitation starting at 9:30 AM. Interment will be private.
