Born on December 1, 1949, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Bob was the proud son of Robert Leroy and Edna (Koske) Fuerst. A graduate of Greenfield High School, he went on to marry Deborah Casper in 1970. Bob built a rewarding career, first at Artos Engineering and then at Waukesha Bearings, where he applied his talents as a Business Systems Analyst.

Bob's passions extended beyond his professional life. An avid outdoorsman, Bob loved being out on the water fishing-bass and walleye were his favorites-and was an active member of the Lake-Link community, an online platform for fishing enthusiasts. Bob also enjoyed golfing, bowling, and hunting, showcasing his love for the great outdoors.

Bob was a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers, and he found joy in all music with emphasis on the 70s Rock era, as well as playing sheepshead with a group of friends and family.

Bob's legacy is carried on by his sons, Bob (Ann) Fuerst, Joe (Jill) Fuerst, and James Fuerst; their mother Deborah Fuerst; his grandchildren, Jared, Bobby, Camryn, and Dylan; his role as best man to Dick and Debbie Voelker; his cousin and lifelong friend, Tim Trepczyk; as well as other relatives and friends.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents.
