Podgorski, Robert Anthony "Bob"
SUN PRAIRIE – Robert Anthony "Bob" Podgorski, age 84, passed away on Monday, Aug. 23, 2021, at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veteran's Hospital in Madison. He was born Feb. 15, 1937, in Nanticoke, Pa., to the late Stanley and Lillian (Dobrowolski) Podgorski. He married Phyllis Krueger on Sept. 29, 1956, in St. Pius X Catholic Church in Wauwatosa.
Bob served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Orion as a sonar technician. He graduated from MSOE after his service in the Navy. Bob was a systems programmer and helped many local small businesses after his retirement from Humana. He was a member of the Madison Maennerchor for over 25 years.
