He attended local schools and was a 1959 graduate of P J Jacobs High School. Bob was employed as a brakeman/conductor with the Soo Line Railroad/CP Rail System for 43 years. After retirement he enjoyed seasonal work at Worzella and Sons in Plover WI and other part time jobs. He was a veteran in the Army National Guard serving from November 1963 - 1970.

Bob was very active in various organizations, including president of the Plover Whiting Lions Club, where he received a 30 year Monarch Chevron Award; Building and Grounds Committee at Trinity Lutheran Church; previous member of Izaac Walton League, Habitat for Humanity, Elks Club, and Parks Committee member of Plover. He enjoyed volunteering at community events at Golden Sands, Celebrate Plover, Lake Pacawa, Izaac Walton, Habitat for Humanity and Place of Peace. Bob was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Bob attended many baseball and softball games, basketball games, volleyball games, and soccer games of the children and grandchildren, as well as various musical and choral events, orchestra and band concerts and plays and socialization at the Isherwood Town Hall. He always had a good time playing golf, yard games, cards and board games with family and friends. Some of his favorite things were Orgish family reunions, playing the lottery, football pools, crossword puzzles, reading a good book, going out to breakfast with the guys and Friday night fish fries. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing trips in Wisconsin, Colorado, Canada and Alaska, and visits to Arizona, New Mexico and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. A trip to Germany and a Caribbean cruise were special trips for him. Bob loved to eat most any kind of food, but his favorite thing was dessert. He enjoyed a good conversation with most anyone.

Memorials can be given to the Lions Club, Habitat for Humanity or Place of Peace. Bob appreciated his family and friends who took the time to visit, send cards and bring him treats and food donations for the family. A very special thank you is given to the wonderful staff from Heartland Hospice, especially Laura and Jessica.
