Obituary published on Legacy.com by Melby Funeral Home & Crematory on Jan. 28, 2026.
Robert C. "Bob" Nodorft, 75, of Platteville, Wisconsin, died on Saturday, January 17, 2025, peacefully at his home. Bob was born on February 2, 1950, in Platteville, the son of Burton R. and Maxine E. (Corlett) Nodorft.

Bob was united in marriage to Tareasa Richter on September 30, 1978, at First English Lutheran Church, Platteville. He enlisted in the United States Airforce in 1969 and was honorably discharged in 1973. Bob returned home and worked for his father in the livestock business. He later owned his own trucking business until he retired in the 80's. Later Bob worked for his father-in-law, at Town & Country Tire until 1997, and then he worked at Weldon Tire, retiring again in 2012.

Bob had a quick-witted sense of humor and was as honest as the day was long.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, Doug Nodorft, father and mother-in-law, Gerald and Mary Lou Richter.
