Tichy, Robert E. “Bob” (8 OCT 1936 - 19 NOV 2017)

Robert E. “Bob” Tichy, 81, Marshfield, died on Sunday, Nov. 19, 2017, at his home in the Town of Day, Marathon County.

A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 25, 2017, at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, Town of McMillan, Marathon County, with Rev. Douglas Westenberg presiding. Military rites will be conducted by the American Legion Post 54 at the church following the service. Burial will take place in Immanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery, Globe, Wis. The visitation will be held from 4 until 7 p.m. on Friday at Sauter/Rembs Funeral Home, Stratford, and from 10 a.m. until the time of service on Saturday at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.

Bob was born on Oct. 8, 1936, in Black River Falls, to Stephen and Margaret (Newton) Tichy. He was a 1955 graduate of Loyal High School.

Bob was a veteran of the United States Navy serving on the USS Orion from 1959 until his honorable discharge in 1961.

Bob spent many years farming alongside his father in the Loyal area where he started his family. He eventually purchased a hobby farm north of Marshfield and began his 35 year career at Stratford Farmer’s Co-op.

Bob enjoyed working hard for both his family and for his community. He served as the Town of Day treasurer for many years, was an active member of the Rozellville Lions club and spent countless hours volunteering at Rozellville area events.

On April 20, 1990, Bob married the love of his life, Rita G. (Patterson) Bieneck. The two could be found working side by side in their impressive garden, enjoying campgrounds across the state or treasuring every opportunity to see their grandchildren in their numerous athletic and artistic activities. When you couldn’t find them there, it was because they were on one of their many worldwide travels having visited over 12 countries, making new life-long friendships and especially cherishing time abroad with family.

Bob is survived by his wife, Rita; and children, Beth Tichy of Chili, Vince (Jeannie) Tichy of Stratford, Tom (Tammy) Bieneck of Auburndale, Tim (Cori) Bieneck of Whitewater, Lori (Jerry) Rozek of Stevens Point, Mary (Mike) Bohlman of Stevens Point and Eric (Marnie) Hansen of Marshfield. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is further survived by two sisters, Carlotta (Gene) Romsos of Sarona and Elvina (Richard) Thompson of Rochester, Minn.; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents.
