Robert F. "Bob" Liebert passed peacefully under the loving watch of his daughter, Gail Mackel, in the early morning hours of Thursday, October 18, 2018, in hospice care at Evelyn's House in Creve Coeur, Missouri. He was 87 years old.
Dad was the youngest of 6 boys born to William and Rose Liebert of Louisville, Kentucky. As a young man, Dad worked on his family's dairy farm, making deliveries with his family's milk wagon. The business advertised as "Liebert Bros. Grade A, Pasteurized, Dairy Products, 2141 Lexington Road." After graduating from Dupont Manual Training High School, Dad enlisted in the US Navy. He served as an Aviation Structural Mechanic in Patrol Squadron FORTY-FOUR in Norfolk, Virginia. His squadron was the first to receive the Navy's new anti-submarine seaplane, the P5M1-Martin "Marlin". Dad enjoyed aviation, held a pilot's license and earned his Airframe and Powerplant License. He started his lifetime career in aviation working as a mechanic for American Airlines in Tulsa, OK. He joined McDonnell Aircraft Corporation and moved his family to St. Louis in the mid-1960s, settling into the growing community of Florissant. Dad worked for McDonnell Douglas for many years and eventually retired from Boeing.
Dad is survived by 5 children: Linda Liebert-Hall and her husband, Mike Hall, of Inverness, Florida; Susan Crase and her husband, Gary, of Grapevine, Texas; Sheila Schill and her husband, Tom, of Jefferson City, Missouri; Gail Mackel and her husband, Bob, of Florissant, Missouri; and Andy Liebert and his wife, Jillian of Hazelwood, Missouri. He was grandfather to 5 grandchildren: Danny Schill and his wife, Lizzy, of Atlanta, Georgia; Brad Schill, currently a senior engineering student at Missouri S&T in Rolla, Missouri; Racine (Mackel) Darnell and her husband, Danny, of O'Fallon, Missouri; Bobby Mackel of Florissant, Missouri; and Cassie Liebert of Indiana. Dad became a great-grandpa in June 2018, when Racine and Danny Darnell welcomed a son, Owen Grady Darnell, into the family.
Services for Dad were held at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery on Monday, October 22, 2018, at 1:30 pm., with Father Jamie Parsley officiating.
The family asks that memorials be made to Evelyn's House, 1000 N. Mason Road, St. Louis, MO 63141, bjchospice.org/evelynhouse. Phone: 314-996-8169.
