Robert taught Science at Fritsche Middle School in Milwaukee for 30 years. In his later life, he developed Parkinson's disease and relocated to Westerville, Ohio.

Mr. Engstrom was an awesome young teacher back in 1977, so sorry to hear of his passing. My heart goes out to Karen and his family

I was his student so many moons ago. I was an 8th grader back in 1988, it was my first year at Fritsche and Mr.E was the best teacher I could have had as a nervous teen new to that neighborhood school. 30 years later, his memory lives on and always will. Lifting all of the family in love and light.
