Remembering Rob Schoenhals

The Anaheim meeting was dedicated to the memory of Robert E. Schoenhals Jr., 50, of Michigan, Treasurer of the VHL Family Alliance 2004-08, who passed away at his home in May 2009 from complications of von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL).  We extend our love and condolences to his wife Anita and their five children, and to Rob’s two sisters, Susan Sorenson and Mary Lynn Pearson, co-chairs of our Utah chapter.  Rob was a graduate of the University of Utah. He received his MBA from BYU’s Marriott School of Management. He worked the last 22 years for Chrysler Corporation. Rob was compassionate, cheerful, grateful, and an inspiration to all. His keen mind and kind nature will be greatly missed. Rob’s favorite memories included watching his children play and compete in tennis.
