Robert Florian Socha

Robert (Bob) Florian Socha 59, Edgar passed peacefully at home on August 1, 2022.
He was born to the late Florian and Kathleen (Taves) Socha on November 21, 1962. Being born in late November ensured that he had his birthday off for gun season each year; and never missed any opening day, and would enjoy celebrating each birthday doing what he loved.
Bob married his love Charlene (Seliger) on June 11, 1982; after just 5 months of dating he proposed knowing that she was the one that he would spend the rest of his life with. This past year they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
Robert graduated Edgar High School in 1980, and worked in the cheese industry for 40 years starting at age 16; with Wisconsin Dairy/Foremost Farms. He retired as maintenance supervisor in August of 2020. He always said everyday is Saturday now.
Bob is survived by his wife Charlene and 3 children: Melissa (Joe) Schmirler, Justin (Sheri) Socha, and Tyler (Breanna) Socha. Along with all his amazing grandchildren who he loved with all his heart, Dusty, Brianna, Carter, Adelyn, Emmett, and Landon. He is also survived by his brother Brian (Wendy) Socha, father-in-law Hugo Seliger, and sister-in-law Denise (Tim) Schueller and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, sister Barb, and mother-in-law Mary Jane Seliger.
Robert enjoyed the many simple things in life. Camping has always been a huge part of his life; whether it be when he was growing up with his family at the cabin in Ojibwa/Winter WI; where he said he always felt like home. Or the years spent at Spirit Lake with his children, cousins, and their families. But most recently much of his time spent camping out at the land with his immediate family. Along with camping, many of his past times included hunting, fishing, shooting pool, and gambling. But most of all Robert enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
He loved to share stories and bring laughter to others (no matter how crazy the story may be) he enjoyed being the life of the party. You never knew what was going to come out of his mouth next. He will be remembered for his humor and the many smiles he has brought to everyone.
A special thank you to Jody Baesman for her assistance with making Bob comfortable and making his wishes of being home with his family possible.
