Memorials may be made to Lutheran Summer Music Program (https://lutheranmusicprogram.org/) in his memory.  Those wishing to sign Bob’s Memory Book online may do so at www.starks-menchinger.com.   Bob was born in St. Joseph, MI in May of 1937.  He graduated from Valparaiso University and did graduate work at the University of Minnesota.  He will be remembered for the glorious music he made both sitting at the organ and directing majestic choirs filled with both adults and children.  His love of music is a legacy he has left behind at churches both in Minneapolis, MN and Scottsdale, AZ. The lives he touched with his music are far reaching and numerous.  He was always encouraging to the many choral people who sang under him and renowned by the uplifting hymn sings played on organs across the United States.  He will be remembered by family and friends for the smile that lit up his face, his dedication and true love of church music and his unwavering dedication to the Chicago Cubs.       He is survived by his loving wife Carol, his daughter Sara (Mark), son Steven (Annette), daughter Karen (Greg), sister Norma (Rich) Carpenter and numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by son Paul and his parents, Paul and Lucille Schultz.
