Robert Erwin Schafer
Robert E. Schafer, 66, of Burnet died Feb. 26, 2011. He was born July 3, 1944, to Fred and Verna Schafer.
He grew up in Maplewood, Mo., but, as he was fond of saying, he got to Texas just as fast as he could. An avid hunter and fisherman as a young man, he also enjoyed a long career in real estate in Rolla, Mo. Additionally, he took much pride in his accomplishments as an investor and his early retirement to the Hill Country.
Survivors include his wife Janet of Burnet; daughter Kimberly of Chicago; son Bob and wife Kelly of Austin; and grandson Oliver of Austin.
A private memorial will be held by his loved ones.
The family thanks Seton Highland Lakes Hospice for their years of care and Valley View Circle of Hands for their support and friendship.
Memorials may be made to Seton Highland Lakes Hospice.
No public services are planned. Friends are welcome to call or visit the family. Condolences may be offered at www.clementswilcoxburnet.com.
