Robert A. Prellwitz, 86, of Ripon, passed away on Sunday, April 10, 2011, at Michalene’s Assisted Living in Ripon, with his family at his side.

Robert worked as a semi truck driver for Speed Queen in Ripon. In 1946, he married Barbara J. Mickle, and they made their home in Ripon. He was a member of Our Saviour’s United Church of Christ in Ripon, and the V.F.W. Schultz-Klemp-Wentland Post in Ripon. Robert served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII from 1943-1946. Robert was a Kind, fun loving man whose love for his family and sense of humor brought joy to us all.
