Bob, a wannabe farmer, awesome semi driver, and always a jokester with an amazing sense of humor, passed away on May 4, 2024. He was so glad he found Wendy again after 20 years apart and they had a second chance, sharing 23 years together (married 16 years). They had an adventure filled life together in the Northwoods during the early years, enjoying the bears in their backyard, and have missed it for the world. He took such pride in the beautiful backyard he created out of a cornfield, all the things he built to make that yard even more beautiful, and sharing the bounty of his huge vegetable garden.
There anything he build or fix as long as he had his Bob was a simple man that could make a Sunday afternoon drive an adventure and made Wendy laugh everyday. He loved all animals, especially his cats Lucy, Lizzy, and Teddy, and missed Abby and Charlie. Bob will be missed by his wife, Wendy; siblings: Sharon (Joe) Figueroa, Joleen Welch, and Keith (Gail) Schommer; nephews: Jeff (Denise) Schommer, Tim (Tiffany) Schommer, Casey Schommer (Elise), and Joe Figueroa, his favorite niece: Sabrina Figueroa (Nick); in-laws: Dave (Belinda) Brown, Kathy Brown (Steve Waskow), and Shari Techlin, and; and many more nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives.

A big thanks to our neighbors Bob Cindy, and Terry, who were always there when we needed them.
Also, to the staff at Fresenius Kidney Care, Courtney, NP, and Dr. Lawton, who were like family to us. There will be a celebration of life in the backyard that he loved in late July. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the East Shore Humane Society of Chilton. was a good life BRILLION Robert J.
