Obituary:
Robert Edward Foker, found peace on February 1, 2008, at the age of 93. Beloved husband for 60 years of Evelyn (nee Peters).
Loving father of Kathleen (James) Krueger and Dr. Greg Foker. Proud Grandfather of Julie (Karl) Koppelmann, Geoffrey (Kerri) Krueger, Kellie (Dan) DeRango, Andrew (Elizabeth) Krueger, and great-grandchildren Leah, Mitchell and Heidi Koppelmann, Meaghan, Mollie and Max DeRango, and Quinn Krueger. Also survived by sister Helen Rydland and Sister-In-Law Jeannette (nee Peters) Klahorst and numerous nieces and nephews.
Bob was preceded in death by parents Arnold and Emma (nee Swanson), sister Dorothy (Bud) Montague, Brother-in-law Arnie Rydland, and Brother-in-law Howard Klahorst.
Bob was born in Alexandria, Minnesota, and eventually made his way to Milwaukee, where he met and married Evelyn. They lived in Fox Point until his job took the family to Appleton, Wisconsin, where they lived for 44 years. Bob's final years were spent living in Brookfield, Wisconsin.
His wit and dry sense of humor were a joy to us all. Bob was an avid Packer fan. Lover of birds and all things beautiful, he was a creative man who could turn his yard into a work of art using zinnia, impatiens, and geraniums. He traveled the world and has now made his final journey. He will be dearly missed.
Memorial visitation at the funeral home Thursday, February 7th 4 p.m. until time of services at 6. Private family interment. Memorials to Friends of Boerner Botanical Gardens and March of Dimes are appreciated. Sympathy Expressions:
