Robert Lacy Wullschleger, 73, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, in Houston, Texas, surrounded by his family. Robert (better known as Butch or Bob) was born January 5, 1948, in Pittsburg, Texas, to Sherrill Wullschleger and Oneta Birdwell Wullschleger. The family eventually settled in New Braunfels, Texas, where Bob graduated from New Braunfels High School in 1966.

Upon his retirement in 2015, Bob, along with his beloved wife, Jeannie, fulfilled a lifelong dream of retiring in Belize where he enjoyed fishing, good wine and spending time with his devoted German Shepherd, Orchid.
Additionally, Bob served his community honorably as a volunteer firefighter with the Spring Fire Department for over 11 years.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents.

Bob was a good friend and an outstanding individual. Charitable with his time, always a couple of jokes (some funny), did what he said he was going to do, would go out of his way to help others and always loved a bit of adventure. Memories started in Houston some 37 years ago and stretched around the world, hunting, fishing, work and just good living. It has been our pleasure to have known him. He will be missed but not forgotten! Our condolences to Jeannie, Jason and Marti. We love you all!

Bob was one of the first guys I met at Station 71, in Old Town Spring, back in 1994. He was great instructor, mentor, and friend. As a testament to his bravery, he was one of the few guys that was willing to assist me with becoming a cleared driver(picture drivers ed instructor, but in a fire truck). Thankfully, we both survived.

Bob and Jeannie probably never realized how wonderful they were to us as hosts and friends during our time in Belize. Our Gringo Lunches were a highlight of the week, and we loved visiting you both at your lovely spot on the lagoon, and Orchid! Bob was a great fishing buddy for Ron. Ron remembers : 6.30 in the morning, and they crack their first beer of the day for "good luck." The time passes and suddenly Bob has hooked a large tarpon. The reel spins and all the line plays out. The tarpon jumps completely out of the water, spits out the lure and Bob looks down. All that's left is his rod. The reel is completely empty. No line. No tarpon. No lure. So they have another beer.
Love to you both,
Trish and Ron.
