Robert was a proud WWII veteran. He applied military precision to all things… So
don’t be late! He approached every day with a smile, always willing to help
others. An avid golfer, he was the Men’s League Champion at Whitnall Park Golf
Course, and continued playing into his 90’s. He enjoyed long car rides, always
ending with the simple pleasure of dining out, as long as it was a shrimp dinner.
He moved to Florida, traveling extensively during retirement, returning to
Wisconsin to spend his final years with family. He was a treasure to all who knew
him.
