Bob was born in Port Washington, Wis., the son of the late Frederick and Marion (nee Borleske) Bartell.

He was a 1967 graduate of Grafton High School and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1971.

He met the love of this life Linda (nee Tschaler), and they were married for 39 years until her death in 2010.

Before Linda’s death, they loved traveling to 49 states in the USA and around the world. When Bob traveled, he would take landscape photographs, which was a hobby he enjoyed.

He loved the Chicago Cubs and was a fan of the Wisconsin Badgers football and hockey teams. Bob hosted tailgate parties at the Badger games for everyone to enjoy. He would go to Rose Bowl games and the Hockey Frozen Four even if the Badgers were not playing.

Bob and Linda loved their golden retrievers, but just seeing anyone’s dog would make Bob smile.

Bob is survived by his brother Dick (Colleen) Bartell; niece Heather Marmont; nephews Ben (Cheyanne) Bartell, Chris Bartell (Katie Meyers) and Paul (Jill) Gueller; his in-laws Joe and Priscilla Tschaler; two brothers-in-law, Thomas (Dana) Tschaler and Larry Gueller; and grandnieces and nephews.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, his brother John Bartell and his sister Marilyn Gueller.
