Robert Lagerman Obituary
Pewaukee - Passed away peacefully on March 6, 2020, at the age of 91. Greatest Father to Robert R. Lagerman and Richard (Brigid) Lagerman. Dearest Grandpa to Laurie (Chaz) Corbett, Amy (Jesse) Joers, Kelsey Lagerman and Robert J. Lagerman. Great-Grandpa to Nick, Samantha, and Clay Robert Joers. Loyal friend to former wife, Audrey DeMunck. Dear uncle to Gayle Lagerman. Preceded in death by his brother, Albert Lagerman. A special thank you to dear family friend, Barbara Abler for her support, especially during Bob's last months.
Bob was a lifelong educator, athlete, and coach; Collegiate All American gymnast, Hall of Fame Athlete for UW-Lacrosse, and Hall of Fame Coach for Brookfield East. Bob also set many Midwest hill records for ski jumping in the 1950's. Bob taught physical education and coached gymnastics at both the college level (Marquette University) as well as the high school level (Brookfield East). Bob was proud to have coached the Brookfield East Boy's Gymnastics team to a Wisconsin State Championship in 1986.
Bob was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying fishing and hunting with his family and many friends. He was a lifelong Harley Davidson enthusiast and motorcycle daredevil. His welcoming smile greeted all who visited him at his Pewaukee Lake home. His zest for life, hearty laugh, and kind heart will be missed by all.
A private burial was held. Future plans for a celebration of Bob's life are yet to be determined. Memorials in Bob's name to the charity of your choice appreciated.

I was a gymnast that he coached at Brookfield East. I will never forget him. He was almost a second father to me.

Sending Prayers that Heal and Comforting Hugs To Hold You During This Difficult Time. Your father was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed. I have come to understand "No One" can prepare you for the loss of your parent. It comes like a swift wind. Therefore, take comfort in knowing there is a fine line between Heaven & Earth that exists for those who believe.
It has been my experience that a parents love for their child transcends this world & the next. Death touches only the physical body but the Soul being Spiritual Lives On. Know your Dad lives in you & in the lives of those he touched. I was deeply sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember him as a loving, gentleman with a pure heart and kindness about him that was unmistakeably sincere. He was the type of man who crosses your path & touches your heart with his warmth. Remember to lean on & feel the love of family & friends here for you with tender support. Praying for your Peace - Thinking of you with the Deepest of Sympathy. God Bless the entire Lagerman family holding you in His Powerful Arms - Lifting You High & Giving You His Strength.
