Robert (“Bob”) L. Pelzmann, 75, of Muskego, WI, passed away on September 1, 2024, due to a yearlong battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his family.
Born on March 4, 1949, in Muskego, Bob attended St. Leonard Grade School and graduated from Muskego High. Bob remained a lifelong resident and business owner in the community. He is survived by his wife, Maggie; son, Drew (Richard); sisters: Mary (David), Cathy (Bob), Marga (John), and Janet. He is preceded in death by his parents, Helen and Robert, and son Eric.
Bob had a successful career in real estate which led him to meet Maggie over 38 years ago when he sold her home. They were happily married and eventually went into business together starting their own office and dedicating their life to helping people find their family home. They lived in Muskego with their beloved dog, Murphy.
Bob was a gentle man with a kind heart and sharp sense of humor. He was a private and quiet person who enjoyed his time on Bass Bay. Bob loved the outdoors with his “buddies” and was an avid hunter and fisherman. A devoted Wisconsin sports fan, he never missed a Packers or Brewers game. As a proud Badger dad, he reveled in game day at Madison. Bob was also a food enthusiast who loved experiencing new restaurants, but his favorites were always his local Muskego haunts.
While our hearts mourn the loss, we take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. In Bob’s final thoughts he shared his sincere gratitude for his friends, nurses, and his primary caretaker, Maggie.
Bob can now take a peaceful walk through the woods, along a lake, welcomed by loved ones. Until we meet again, we will hold him close in our memories, and simply keep a sign on the mantle…“Gone Fishing”.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Bob and our family. Special thanks to our remarkable neighbors in Aud Mar Estates!
