Robert Schorr Obituary
Obituary published by Parrott Funeral Home
Robert F. Schorr, a devoted family man and veteran
aviator, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2024, in Fayetteville, GA, at the
age of 94. Born on June 15, 1930, in Chicago, IL, Robert led a distinguished
life marked by service, dedication, and love for his family.
Robert proudly served his country as a Naval
Aviator, piloting aircraft from the decks of aircraft carriers during his
tenure with the United States Navy. Following his honorable service, he
transitioned to a career in commercial aviation, retiring as a pilot for Delta
Airlines after many decades of safely guiding passengers across the skies.
Additionally, Robert was an original board member
at Delta who played a crucial role in bringing the Delta Air Lines Museum to
fruition, preserving aviation history for generations to come.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Robert was
deeply involved with the Catholic Archdiocese, contributing significantly to
the establishment of Most Blessed Sacrament, which served as both a church and
school. He also chaired the committee responsible for the conversion of Sacred
Heart to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife,
Essie Lathan Schorr, in 2017; his parents, Emil and Marie Schorr; and his
brother, Gerald Schorr. Robert leaves behind a legacy of love and family in his
surviving daughter, Valerie Bennington; son, Robert Schorr and his wife Kristi;
grandchildren, Victoria Little and her husband Ray, Andrew Whatley and his wife
Megan, Kenzie Schorr and her husband Mark, Zachary Schorr, and Kole Schorr; and
great-grandchildren, Reese Little, Reagan Little, Chapman Whatley, Holden
Whatley, Blakely Schorr, and Bristol Morton.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October
12, 2024, at 11 o'clock in the Chapel of Parrott Funeral Home, with Deacon Mark
Friedlein officiating. Interment will follow at Westview Cemetery. The family
will receive friends on Friday evening from 5:00 until 8:00 p.m., with a vigil
beginning at 7:00 p.m. at Parrott Funeral Home and Crematory.
Robert's life was a testament to strength,
commitment, and the enduring bonds of family. His memory will forever be
cherished by all who knew and loved him.
