Bob was a dedicated employee of the Kohler Company as a wood pattern maker until his retirement. He was a member of the Quarter Century Club at Kohler. During this time, he also owned Millhome-Wood Pattern Making. His wood pattern creations helped many local foundries and companies including the Kiel Foundry and Gopher Musky Baits. He was an active member of the Louis Corners SnoBirds Club, where he helped organize their Bingo fundraisers. Bob also was a volunteer with Meals on Wheels. During his free time he was an avid fan of WI sports and loved to watch Gunsmoke and other westerns on TV.
