Robert R. Weisheim, 87 of Sullivan, passed away on Thursday, December 15, 2022, at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital.


Bob was born on July 16, 1935, in Milwaukee, WI, the son of Alexander and Marie (Helwer) Weisheim.  He grew up in Milwaukee and graduated from Custer High School in 1953.  Soon after graduation, Bob enlisted in the US Army and was stationed in Kaiserslautern Germany, where he met his bride, Brigitte Ultes.  On April 13, 1956, the couple wed in Baumholder Germany and had 3 children.  During his 10-year service to his country, Bob worked as a Military Policeman.   After his time of service, he was employed with WE Energies, retiring in 1993 after 30 years.  Bob was a “car guy” through and through!  He and his wife purchased, drove, and restored a 1968 Pontiac GTO.  He later passed the car on to his son.  He had a deep interest in aviation and enjoyed building model cars, airplanes, and ships.  He was also an avid fishman.  Bob also loved to serve people.  Whether it was his church family at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Rome or his neighbors, if there was a need, Bob wanted to help.  Above all other interests, Bob’s family was the most important thing in his life, especially his grand and great-grandchildren.  He loved them dearly and considered their interested and needs often.  His memory will be cherished by those that knew and loved him.
