Robert Allen Noskowiak

Robert Allen Noskowiak, age 88, of Antigo passed away December 20, 2025 at Rosalia Gardens under the care of LeRoyer Hospice.

Bob was born on February 10, 1937 in Antigo to the late Joseph and Mary (Pizl) Noskowiak.

He was a graduate of Antigo High School class of 1955. Upon graduating, along with his brother, Dumaine, Bob entered the US Navy. His time in service took him to many countries.

On September 8, 1962, Bob was united in marriage to Rachel Perry at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Aniwa.

Bob was an active member of Calvary Lutheran Church where he served on the church council and the building and grounds committee.

Bob had a long career in auto sales working for Four Way Motors, Marv Jefferson Motors, Remington Motors, and Brickners of Antigo. He also partnered with James Draeger as an owner of Antigo Sports Sales. During his sales career he was referred to as “Antigo Bob”.

He was a dedicated member of the Antigo community having served on the city council, and as a member of the Kiwanis Club and ELKS.

He enjoyed golfing, playing cards and time at the cottage. Some of his greatest enjoyments were alongside Rachel attending sporting events of their children and then the grandchildren. Rachel and Bob joined in the excitement of seeing their grandson, an Antigo High School baseball player win the state championship in 2019. They were also fortunate to travel to tournaments and visit Cooperstown with their family. He was the fan in the stand yelling “5 for a ride” when rooting for a homer.

Bob was an avid Brewer, Badger and Packer fan, holding season tickets with the Green Bay Packers since 1971.

Bob will be remembered as a man of integrity and for his love for his family.
