At the time of his passing, he was serving proudly and happily in the United States Air Force as the Superintendent of the 341st Medical Group at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; he had just days ago re-committed to continued service, telling his friends and co-workers that he loved his job, loved the people he worked with, and that he had the “best job in the Air Force Medical Service.” He was far too young and happy to leave us. If you would like to share your thoughts or memories of Chief Schaub, please leave a comment here for his wife and family and friends to see. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, August 30, at Malmstrom Air Force Base.
