Robert “Bob” G. Schick, 90, of Geneva. Loving husband of 65 years of Joyce nee Dreier. Devoted father of John, Sandra (Peter) Bohr, Mark (Patti), Karen, and Kurt (Kathy). Beloved grandfather of nine and devoted great-grandfather of five. Over the course of a 33-year teaching and coaching career at Geneva High School, Bob taught math and PE and held head coaching positions in basketball, baseball, and football, and served as Athletic Director. He later became Assistant Principal, teacher, and coach at Valley Lutheran High School in St. Charles. Bob’s influence on those he taught, coached, and befriended was immense and immeasurable. He had a strong belief in the potential of kids, the goodness of people, and the power of disciplined work. Despite Bob’s busy work schedule, he was an ever-present father, devoting himself along with wife Joyce to his five children and constantly involved in their upbringing and interests while helping shape their Christian values. Bob extended this same devotion and attention to his nine grandchildren, whom he adored.

YEP was a great experience to have in high school. I became a more confident person, someone with a lot more perspective. Coming from a small school, YEP allowed me to branch out into my community, meet students from other schools, and learn about their backgrounds. I made some great friends and still keep in touch with them today.

Being a part of the Community Foundation scholarship committee is the highlight of my year. For many, a scholarship from the CFFRV is the reason they are able to continue reaching for their dreams and changing the future of our world. I hope each recipients knows just how inspirational they are to those of us who are lucky enough to read their stories.

YEP has made me realize the importance of being involved in my community, and how to make a difference. There are a lot of problems in the world but if we can do everything that we can to help the world will become a better place. YEP has helped me realize this and encouraged me to help more people in the future.

I am incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Zari Foundation Scholarship and the Community Foundation in supporting my education. I am majoring in mechanical engineering with a concentration in aerospace engineering at the Rose-Hulman Institue of Technology. In my spare time, I volunteer on campus, in the community and I’m also the principal violist in the symphony orchestra. I hope to make an impact on the next chapter of space exploration by eventually working at a groundbreaking aerospace company such as SpaceX or NASA.
