Bob and Barbara Schmidt - Hero of Today
In memory of Bob Schmidt who passed away Monday, May 26th, 2008.
Here is a tribute to Bob written by his family. Barbara is continuing to fulfill Bob’s dream of helping the poor and the orphans, making presentations and using her passion to inspire others to take up the cause. A memorial fund set up in Bob’s honour has raised over $85,000 (to Dec 2008).
He was a husband, a father, a papa, a best friend, a mentor and a coach. Most of all, Bob Schmidt loved God and through his servant leadership wanted everyone he loved and cared about to know our Lord so that one day they will all be where he is now. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

While thousands of people will remember Bob for his teaching and transforming of lives during his 38 year career in the Direct Sales Industry, many never had the opportunity to know Bob’s heart. A private man, there was a shy and gentle side of Bob and it was to those in need that he and his wife Barbara gave quietly. In the last few years of his life they became very involved in the Ministry of Be a Hero. Be a Hero places children in homes with parents that give them hope, teach them to love the Lord, and help them become happy and responsible adults. Bob’s goal was to donate one million dollars to this ministry and he and Barbara are well on their way to doing just that. He was always encouraging others to look at this incredible ministry while never sharing how deeply he and Barbara are involved. To that end we hope that you will consider any donations you would like to make on Bob’s behalf will go to “Be a Hero”.
Bob dedicated his life on earth to helping and influencing thousands in a positive way. He left his imprint upon the lives he touched with intensity and deliberation, impacting people all over the world wanting them to see that, they too, could believe and emerge, and become greater than they ever thought possible.
While Bob is gone to a better place, he left us his words and influence that will continue to change lives for generations to come. Join us as we continue to share Bob’s legacy and dream to help children throughout the world through the works of Be a Hero.
Matthew 25:23 “….WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT….”
