It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert Hardrath, who left us on April 4, 2025, at the age of 83. Born on March 9, 1942, Robert dedicated over 40 years of his life to the United States Postal Service. More than his career, Robert was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, whose kindness, wisdom, and unwavering love touched all who knew him.
He leaves behind his loving wife of over 60 years, Carol (nee Dassinger) Hardrath; his children, James (Dee) Hardrath and Sheryl Domke; his cherished granddaughter, Amber Nicole Budd; and countless other family members and friends whose lives he enriched.
A visitation to celebrate Robert's life will be held on Monday, April 14, 2025, at the Cesarz, Charapata & Zinnecker Funeral Home, 237 N. Moreland Blvd, Waukesha, WI 53188. The visitation will begin at 3:00pm, followed by a service at 5:00pm. In lieu of flowers memorials are appreciated to St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church or Waukesha Humane Society.
The family extends their heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love, support, and condolences during this difficult time. May Robert rest in peace, forever remembered and deeply missed.
