Robert Pilecky, age 91, of Antigo, died on September 9, 2025 at his home under the care of his family and LeRoyer Hospice. He was born on June 10, 1934 in Deerbrook, a son of Louis and Bernice (Holeton) Pilecky.
Bob lived in Wausau, worked as a carpenter, and was foreman for Bob & Clem Enterprises. He used his carpentry skills to help many of his friends and family. He moved to Kenosha and worked at American Motors where he met his wife. He married Elizabeth Bareika on November 4, 1966 in Kenosha.
In 1970 they bought a dairy farm in Antigo where they farmed for 27 years.
He enjoyed eating out, golfing and was on a men's golf league at Riverview Golf Course in Antigo where he won many trophies. Bob was a kind and generous person who did without for himself always putting family first.
