Robert P. 'Bob' Resch

Robert P. Resch, age 81, left this world Sunday, June 7, 2009, to join his wife, Pauline, who just passed away this past 26th of February. Robert was born in Pearson, WI, on March 2, 1928, son of the late Adolph and Barbara (nee: Hayek) Resch.

Bob proudly served in the U. S. Army during the Korean Conflict. On August 27, 1955, he was united in marriage to the love of his life Pauline M. Learned. He was last employed with Michael’s Machine Company until his retirement in 1999. He had previously been employed with Quad Machine for over twenty years.

He will be best remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be dearly missed.
