In Memoriam
Robert J. Schanck, AIA, CSI and member
of our Pittsburgh Chapter passed away on July 14, 2008.
WTW CEO and President Rich DeYoung noted, “Bob Schanck
had been struggling with health problems for several years
but persisted in trying to contribute as best he could to
architecture and the work of WTW. Earlier this year, after
considerable hesitation because he didn’t want to give
up his contributions to the firm even as he struggled with
his health, Bob had gone on permanent disability.
Bob spent the early part of his career as a project architect
for WTW, then left for a time, and finally returned as our
specification writer and became an Associate in the firm.
He had a broad understanding of products and materials that
he enthusiastically shared with all of us to made our projects
better. He constantly strived to make our work the best it
could be through research and education about the products
and details that we employ.
Bob always had a great sense of humor and wonderful outlook
on life; he was a real inspiration for all who knew him. Those
of us who worked with Bob are far better people for the experience
of sharing our profession and lives with him. We will all
miss him tremendously.
