Henchen, Robert C. (1929? – 24 NOV 2014)

Robert C. Henchen, 85, Neillsville, died on Monday, Nov. 24, 2014, at the Memorial Medical Center in Neillsville. Visitation was held on Friday, Nov. 28, at the Gesche Funeral Home in Neillsville. Military honors were accorded by the Wallis-Hinker-Brux Greenwood American Legion Post 238. Graveside services in City Point were private.

Robert Clarence Henchen was born at home in Globe, the son of Clarence and Agnes (nee Minsaas) Henchen. He married Evelyn Swiech on June 9, 1955. He retired from the Nelson Muffler Factory in the mid-1990s and then worked as a skilled laborer doing electrical and plumbing work in the area. Robert was active in the VFW Legion Post 6220. He enjoyed hunting, being out in the woods and helping out his neighbors. He was a very hard worker and always looked for ways to improve himself, taking college classes into his 70s. He was very loved and enjoyed spending time with his family.

He will be missed dearly by his wife, Evelyn; a daughter, Rita (Terry) Sternitzky, Neillsville; a granddaughter, Bobbi Jo (Dan Moore) Delo, Neillsville; his brothers and sisters, Clarabel “Lefty” Djubenski, Greenwood, Clarence “Snuffy” (Ethel) Henchen, Marshfield, and Ronald (Joanne) Henchen, Eau Claire; many nieces, nephews and friends; and his cat, Mischief.
