ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- The family of Robert Schindler, Sr. releases the following statement:

 

Robert S. Schindler, Sr., of Gulfport, Florida, father of the late Terri Schindler Schiavo, passed away August 29, 2009 from heart failure at Northside Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.

 

Robert fought valiantly to save the life of his brain-injured daughter Terri in the landmark right to life case that culminated in her imposed death by court-ordered starvation and thirst on March 31, 2005. After Terri's death, along with his wife Mary, daughter Suzanne (Schindler) Vitadamo and son Bobby Schindler, he founded the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation in St. Petersburg dedicated to supporting other families faced with the same need to fight for the rights of their disabled or otherwise vulnerable loved ones.

 

Robert was born in Philadelphia on October 23, 1937 and was 71 years of age.  Proceeded in death by his daughter Theresa Schindler.  He is survived by his wife Mary, daughter Suzanne Vitadamo (Michael), son Bobby Schindler and granddaughter Alexandra.

A Mass of Christian burial with visitation preceding will be scheduled to take place in Philadelphia, PA. Times and location will be announced at a later date.

 

Memorials may be made to the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, 5562 Central Avenue, Suite 2, Saint Petersburg, FL 33707, phone (727) 490-7603.

So much can be learned from the Schindler family. They are an inspiring bunch. So much junk thrown at them and they stood by the Lord day in and day out. God love you, Mr. Schinder. No one deserves heaven more than you do.

Sad. Prayers for a family who has endured much. I pray that Terri and he are enjoying a happy reunion right now.

Terri was killed by the death cult in this country.

[Regulator]

Just think. An American who lived to see a County Judge order the murder of his daughter.

Beyond belief that it happened in this country.

Terri was killed by the death cult in this country.

I believe it's actually worse than that.

The culture of death drew Terri's murder out over a long period of time in order to employ continual public opinion polling to determine what the American people would tolerate. Terri's murder was a "test run" for the death panels they want to implement nationwide.

How sad! Will add them to our prayers this evening.

George Soros, Dr. Kevorkian and Mikey’s George Felos are all part and parcel of the death cult in this country and helped craft the death panel portions of the health care bills. Oh, and Ezekiel Emmanual threw his two cents in too. If you’re too young or too old, you’re just not worth it to Zeke.

To All, If you quickly read this post, please note that the service will be in Pennsylvania, not in Florida.

[MiddleEarth]

Met him once. He was a very sweet, down to earth man. None of them deserved the Terri tragedy.

May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace!

[TASMANIANRED]

Prayers lifted.
