Preceded in death by his daughter Kathy Marie, brother Gerald, and brother-in-law Ronald Pritzlaff. Further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Robert graduated from Don Bosco High School in 1952. Following graduation, he was drafted into the Army and served with the Combat Engineers during the Korean War. After serving his country, he opened R & C Construction with his uncle. Later, worked for Tomaro Contractors Inc. for the next 32 years until they closed. Retirement wasn’t for him, he needed to be with people. He got a job with ADP. Everyone was always happy to see him as he was delivering their paychecks. He was a diehard Chicago Bears fan and he loved a good joke.
