Robert Schmidt

Robert Warren Schmidt passed away after a long and courageous battle with bone marrow cancer on Saturday November 17, 2018. He was surrounded by his family at home. Bob was born in Denver on May 26, 1946 and grew up in Littleton. He graduated from Littleton High School in 1964. Bob then attended the University of Colorado as both a music major and a business major. Bob had a tremendous gift when it came to music and played multiple instruments. Bob played in the "King Louie and the Laymen" band for many years. They played at several local clubs in the area and at "The Bitter End" in New York City. Later, Bob opened "The Bugle" clothing store in Boulder in 1974. He later opened a second store in Fort Collin which became "Robert Schmidt Clothiers". He relocated the business to Boulder and was a staple in the community for men's clothing for many years. After he closed his retail store, he spent over 15 years as a realtor at RE/MAX of Boulder. Bob was a longtime member of the Boulder Country Club where he served on the Board of Directors for several terms. He loved spending the summers playing golf with his "Goon Group" and in earlier years loved playing tennis. Bob was also a former member of Boulder Rotary and Foothills Rotary in Fort Collins. Bob loved the Buffs and Broncos and was a season ticket holder for both the CU football and basketball programs. He also was a big supporter of Fairview High School athletics where his kids attended high school. Bob's greatest love was his family. He is survived by his wife, Dale; daughter, Taylor; son, Trevor; and sister, Sandra Stone and her family. A celebration of life will be scheduled sometime after the first of the year. Details will be communicated at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Mile High Weimaraner Rescue. Bob loved his dogs and rescued many Weimaraners over the years.
