Robert Damon Obituary

Appleton - Robert "Bob" Joseph Damon, age 95, died March 16, 2020 at Willow Lane Assisted Living in Appleton. Bob was born September 11, 1924 in Oshkosh to the late Joseph L. Damon and Catherine (Kitty) Damon. Bob was gifted, kind, generous, and playful. He loved people and chose to see the good in everyone. He was always ready with a helping hand, a great story, or a friendly joke. Bob served his country during WWII, participating in major battles in the European theater, including Normandy. He earned the Silver Battle Star and other commendations in the Army's 2nd Cavalry. After the war, Bob earned a degree in education from UW-Oshkosh, then spent 40 years teaching social studies in Appleton.

Mr. Damon would stop in at Roosevelt Middle School for enjoyable visits during his retirement years. Along with those visits he brought sunshine and a smile that couldnt get much wider.
My deepest sympathies to his family. Mr. Damon was truly a wonderful person. May he Rest In Peace.

Mr. Damon's class was my favorite class and he was my favorite teacher. I always looked forward going to his class because he made it fun and I learned so much. He was a true gem!

Thank you Mr. Damon for making a difference in my life.
