Wenzel, Robert E. passed away Wednesday, December 27, 2023 at the age of 97.

Preceded in death by his first wife Dorothy (nee Lester), and his late wife Hildy

Bokan, Denise (the late Ken) Brzenk, Rob (Kathie) Wenzel, Gay (David) Flumer and

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.
