Robert Klubertanz Obituary
Klubertanz, Robert J.
COTTAGE GROVE - Robert J. Klubertanz, age 81, and to the utter amazement of everyone but St. Peter himself, Bob passed away in his sleep, without warning, without a fight, and without a word. The apparent cause of death is an accumulation of several years of Doctors saying "I can't believe he's still alive." Wisely, it appears Death decided to wait until he was asleep in order to avoid the inevitable conversation.
Growing up and graduating from Sun Prairie High School in 1958, farming in Deerfield, driving trucks throughout his later years, telling stories at every stop along the way. Husband, friend, brother, son, father and grandfather, Bob was there for us and demonstrating what a good man should do, hard work, with some laughs along the way.
He is survived by his beautiful wife who has been by his side for nearly 62 years, Louise; daughters: Jackie (Greg) Frutiger of Deerfield, Jeannie (Bill) Simmons of Madeira Beach, FL; sons: Tom (Kris) Klubertanz of Edgerton, Steve (Kali) Klubertanz of Winchester, VA; 16 grandchildren: Jessica (Jason) Helgeland, Christopher (Nikki) Frutiger, Brianne Leiza, Brittany Medina, Renee (Roger) Taylor, Erin (Ross) Ryan, Mark (Andrea), Matthew and Clayton Klubertanz, James (Allis), Jacob, and Joshua Reese; Emma, Lauren, Gretchen and Stevie Klubertanz ; nine great-grandchildren: Ethan Loether, Trinity, Alexis, Arya Frutiger, Cason and Sophia Medina, Rich and Rayden Taylor, Ophelia Klubertanz; one great- great-grandchild, Liam Taylor; a brother Lloyd Klubertanz; sisters: Ruth Anne (Jerry) Skalitzky, Margie (Larry) Woodbury and Kathleen (Harry) Mills; sister-in-law Judy Klubertanz.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother James.
