Robert Lessl Obituary
Robert (Bob) F. Lessl
Oct. 17, 1928 - Oct. 24, 2023
Robert (Bob) F. Lessl was born in Milwaukee on October 17, 1928, and passed beyond our reach on October 24, 2023, at age 95.
He was the second of three children born to Ann (nee Heinz) and John Lessl, who emigrated from Austria-Hungary as children. His parents moved to Menominee Falls, WI, and later to Hartford, WI, during the Great Depression, but with World War II on the horizon, John Lessl was called back to the Falk Corporation and the family returned to Milwaukee. There Bob attended Pulaski high school where he competed in several sports. He was a state wrestling champion in his weight division and the president of his senior class. He then went on to play football and to wrestle for the University of Wisconsin-Madison while earning his bachelor's degree.
Mass of Christian burial will be held Monday, October 30, 2023, at 11:00 AM at St. Mary Catholic Church in Pardeeville with Father Joji Reddy presiding. Interment will follow at Pardeeville Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 9:30 AM until the time of service at the church Monday.

Robert Lessl will always be Mr. Lessl to me as he was someone I looked up to when growing up. He always gave me encouragement to believe in myself which developed my self-confidence. A man of God's word, he made sure I knew who God was. I will never forget how much he enjoyed it when I would play the piano and sometimes I didnt know he was my audience! Many good memories. May Mr. Lessl rest in peace. So sorry for your loss, Susan Glisch
