It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Robert Schumacher Mathes of Oak Park, Illinois, born in Quincy, Illinois, who passed away on May 22, 2023, at the age of 76, leaving to mourn family and friends. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

He was loved and cherished by many people including : his parents, Robert Mathes and Gertrude Mathes; and his children, Catherine Mathes (Derek Sandhaus) and Peter Mathes.

Due in part to the pandemic, late in life he discovered a passion for cooking, and enjoyed preparing meals for himself and his partner Francine.
