Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
I'm deeply grieved to bring you this sad news this Sunday morning.
Bob Schweida,
Class of 1954, passed away at his home
in Pelham, New Hampshire on Monday, April 16, 2018, at the age of 82.
He was the
brother of
Margaret Schweida West ('56) of VA,
Gerald
Schweida ('62) of NC,
Jane Schweida Martin ('69) of VA, and of the late
John Schweida ('67).
Bob had been one of my subscribers for many years, and I was delighted to meet him personally at Buckroe a few years ago and learn what a nice man he was. I shall miss him.

PELHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE - Loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle Robert C. "Bob" Schweida, 82, a resident of Pelham, NH, died Monday April 16, 2018 at his residence. He was the beloved husband of Marilyn C. (Westwell) Schweida who survives him. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, February 29, 1936, a son of the late Charles J. and the late Margaret A. (Hampson) Schweida, he was a graduate of Newport News High School, Class of 1954 in Newport News, Virginia. Bob was a proud Typhoon who kept in touch with many former classmates and loved attending NNHS reunions. A veteran of both the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam Conflict, Bob proudly served his country as a member of the U.S. Marine Corps and then the U.S. Army. |

He was a member of the John H. Hargreaves VFW Post 10722 in Pelham as well as a member of the Marine Corps League, Detachment 823. Bob was a man of many interests. He enjoyed golfing, woodworking, photography, kayaking and exploring nature. Bob was especially fond of regaling those close to him with stories from his time in service. He was so very proud to claim the title of United States Marine, even teaching his girls to sing the Marine Corps Hymn when they were just "knee-high to a grasshopper", as he would say. Bob had reconnected with several friends and fellow service members over the years, keeping in touch regularly and visiting when he could. However, his greatest joy was the quality time he was able to spend with his wife, children and grandchildren. In addition to his wife Marilyn, Bob is survived by two daughters, Jane E. Bischoff and her husband Jason of Litchfield, NH and Karen A. Powers and her husband, Charles of Chesapeake, VA; three grandchildren, Elizabeth Goodwin and Luke and Benjamin Powers; two sisters, Margaret A. West and her husband James and Jane V. Martin and her husband Robert, all of Williamsburg, VA; a brother Gerald J. Schweida of Kill Devil Hills, NC; and many nieces and nephews. He was also brother of the late John G. Schweida.

Onward Christian Soldiers
Words by Sabine
Baring Gould in Church Times, 1865
Music (St. Gertrude) by Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871
Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banner go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundation quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Chorus:
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Chorus:
4. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and Honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Chorus:
