  Robert J. Dengel, Sr. Age 89, died Monday morning, March 24, 2014, at Carolina Manor in Appleton, surrounded by his family. Bob was born in Appleton on March 9, 1925, and was raised in Appleton. He graduated from Appleton High School in 1943, and attended vocational school where he earned his State of Wisconsin Certificate for the trade of Machinist. Bob served in the United States Army during World War II and was honorably discharged in 1946. During his years in the service he received several medals: Victory Medal, Ribbon with Silver Star, 3 overseas service bars and the Good Conduct Medal. Bob married Jane Klingert on July 2, 1949, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Appleton. He built the family home in 1957 where they resided until 2013. He had a workshop in the basement where, "Dad could fix anything." He also enjoyed fishing many weekends with his brother John. Often on Sunday afternoons, he would whip up a batch of fudge that was his own recipe. Bob's favorite thing by far was peanut butter, on and in everything. He enjoyed hours of playing pool and pinball, and he loved listening to his music. Bob collected so many things. His favorites were model cars and Betty Boop. He didn't say much, but when he did, he was very quick witted. He was always there for his family, no matter what, and he will be terribly missed. He was employed by Appleton Papers, Appleton, almost 40 years before retiring. Bob was also an original member of St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Appleton. Bob is survived by his wife of 64 years: Jane A. Klingert Dengel; his children: Judy Birschbach, Mary (Alan) Bill, James (Laura) Dengel, Edward (Anita) Dengel and Catherine Dengel; his grandchildren: Jacquelyn Herrera, Mark Birschbach, Barry (Amber) Birschbach, Joseph (Nikki) Dengel, Thomas Dengel; and six step-grandchildren; his great grandchildren: Raegan Birschbach, Alexander Herrera, Joshua Herrera; and five step great grandchildren; a sister-in-law: Janette Dengel; and numerous nieces and nephews. Bob was preceded in death by his oldest son, Robert J. Dengel, Jr.; his parents John A. and Anna M. Schmidt Dengel; and his in-laws: Edward Klingert and Minnie Wege Klingert Stapel; his siblings: Sister Mary Cedella, John (Estelle) Dengel, Helen (Len) Macrorie, Cedella Kraft, Marguerite (John) VanRyzin, Carl Dengel, Betty (Edward) Jenjak, Edward Dengel, and Norman Dengel; his in-laws: Dorothy (Ralph) Noffke, James Klingert, Anita (Howard) Engel, and Edward (Ramona) Klingert; and nieces and nephews.
