    SCHOWALTER, ROBERT PETER "BOB" - passed away from this life on March 15th, 2012 in Knoxville, TN. Bob was born to Roy and Beulah Schowalter on June 23, 1932. He was a rare fourth generation Floridian from his mother's side. Three months short of his 80th birthday, he departed this world to be with our Lord! He was blessed to have his strength endure a full life as the Psalmist promised: "Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures...." (Psalm 90:10). His formative years were spent in South Florida... South Miami, Key West, and Homestead. He graduated from Homestead High in 1950. He matriculated to the University of Florida and received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, "With-Honors".

He received the 1997 ASHRAE Technology Award for his article on heat pump systems. Bob's faith journey was directed by his loving parents. He was baptized at the First Baptist Church of Key West. After marriage, he continued his faith journey in the Presbyterian denomination. He was a faithful member of Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church in Knoxville where he attended the Speakout Sunday School class for over 30 years. Bob delighted in his grandchildren and lit up in their presence. Attending their birthday celebrations and recitals, and hearing any story about them brought him tremendous joy.
