Following Robert’s graduation from the Bonduel High School in 1951, he proudly served in the U.S. Army from August 1954 to May 1956, spending 16 months in Korea.
Robert was united in marriage on June 30, 1962, to Donna Montoure, who preceded him in death on Sept. 11, 2007.

He was a member at the St. Paul Lutheran Church in the town of Washington.
In his free time, Robert enjoyed bowling, playing cards, gardening and sports, especially watching the Packers, Badgers and Cubs. But above all, Robert found it captivating to watch his grandchildren play sports. Bob played baseball with the Cecil Mudhens from 1956-1964.
