Robert J. Gallert, Sr., age 73, of Oshkosh, passed away on Friday, August 18, 2017, at his home with his family by his side.

Bob was born in Ripon, WI, on February 22, 1944, the son of Art and Myrtle (Link) Gallert. He graduated from Markesan High School. Bob married Sandra Swanke, and she passed away in 1980. In his early years Bob worked in plumbing and heating for thirteen years in Green Lake, WI, then at Mercury Marine for five years.

He especially loved trap shooting with his friends the last few years, and also going up north to visit his special fishing buddies Ted and Fritz.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Art and Myrtle; and wife, Sandra.

Let go of what was,
And have faith
What will be
