Robert Keith Schultz was born February 14, 1932 to George and Lillian (Lequia) Schultz in Kingsford, Michigan. He graduated high school and was called by the New York Giants baseball team to go play. On April 29, 1950, Robert was united in marriage to Patsy Oshesky in Kingsford, Michigan. They started their family and relocated to Redwood Falls in Minnesota. The family then moved to St. Cloud and finally settled in New Ulm. Robert began his career on the starting shift when Kraft Foods first opened in 1955, where he eventually retired. After retirement, Robert and Patsy wintered in Arizona together. In his free time, Robert loved going fishing and, later in life, going golfing. Many fond memories were made going north to Lake Winnibigoshish and playing golf at the New Ulm Country Club. Robert will be dearly missed by those that knew him. Blessed be his memory.
