Robert Boynton Obituary
Bob was the eldest child of Robert Charles Boynton, Sr., and Dolores (Millis) Boynton, born January 4, 1947, in Whitewater, Wisconsin. He graduated from Whitewater High School in 1965, where he played football and ran track; his speed earned him the nickname "Bullet." He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1974 with a B.S. in Industrial Technology. He spent many years as a plant general manager in manufacturing and later followed his enthusiasm for trucking, becoming an owner-operator of a dump truck until his retirement in 2013. His interests included architecture, classic cars, motorsports, cycling, weightlifting, history, gaming, and investing. In recent years, he dedicated time to volunteering at his local senior center. As a father, he modeled a strong work ethic, the importance of continual learning and self-improvement, and the benefits of fiscal responsibility for his two sons, all delivered with his signature dry sense of humor.
Bob is survived by his children, Jason and Colin Boynton; their mother, Marie Boynton; and Colin's partner, Marilyn "Mera" Edwards. He is also survived by his siblings, Brent Boynton, Kevin Boynton, and Denise Klefbohm; sisters-in-law, Roxanne and Lisa Boynton; and brother-in-law, Randy Klefbohm. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Charles Boynton, Sr., and Dolores Boynton.

As Bob's neighbor we have loved having him next door, he is the nicest guy we could have had for a neighbor. He was always so kind to are dog Akasha, she loved playing Frisbee with him and running circles around him will he was cutting his grass. Bob and Joe would talk about his trucks and biking and walking. He was always around if I needed help he was so kind to my grandson with sharing story's of his boys with there racing and there video games. Bob you will for sure be missed. Thank you for being such a wonderful kind neighbor.
