Robert J. “Bob” Nieskes Sr., 80, of Elmore, passed away on Sunday, July 8, 2018, at Hope Health and Rehabilitation Center in Lomira. Bob was born on August 6, 1937, the son of the late Oscar “Ozzie” and Anna (nee Schumacher) Nieskes. On August 13, 1983, he was united in marriage to Christine Lauters at Timmer’s Resort.

They were married for 35 years and enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S. and to Aruba, going to Alaska, as well as many trips to South Dakota, and Bob’s favorite fishing hole at the Way Dam Resort on the Michigamme Flowage in Michigan. Bob loved the outdoors, hunting and fishing, boating, riding his Harleys, chopping wood, and tinkering in the shed. He would often be found with a can of Old Style in his hand, telling jokes and BS’ing with his buddies.

He raised pigeons and always had numerous critters running amok. Bob was known by many nicknames – those that stuck were Hodge, Uncle Bob, and Barnyard Bob due to his ever present bib overalls. He was a member of Carpenters Local 2283 since 1958.

Bob worked for various construction contractors and retired in 1999 from Luterbach Construction. He will be remembered as a gifted craftsman who had an eye for detail.
