Robert Arnold Schuck, age 79, of Conway, Arkansas passed away on May 4, 2026. He was born in Akron, Ohio on April 22, 1947 to Walter and Beatrice Schuck.

Bob embodied the heart of a coach on the baseball field, at work and at home.

Like all good coaches he was disciplined, focused, patient, steadfast, and encouraging. He led by example with a dedicated work ethic.

He encouraged those around him to reach their highest potential.

The Galatians 5:22-23 Fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) was a natural expression of his existence.

He loved his family with the kind of love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

He was a man of great faith, few words and much integrity.

He leaves behind friends and family who will mourn his absence yet go forward with the memories and blessings of having been a part of his life.

Robert Arnold Schuck, age 79, of Conway, Arkansas passed away on May 4, 2026. He was born in Akron, Ohio on April 22, 1947 to Walter and Beatrice Schuck. Bob
