After completing his military service in 1958, he returned to the area and began farming. Bob was united in marriage to Hilda Winckler on May 16, 1959 at St. Leo Catholic Church in Tyndall. They farmed until 1965, when they moved in to Tyndall and Bob began working for the City of Tyndall and later as a dispatcher for the Bon Homme County Sheriff’s office. He also worked as a realtor and auctioneer. From 1986 to 1996, he owned and operated Sokota Battery, Inc. in Tyndall. He was a crop insurance adjuster for the Hartford and a reviewer for Farmer’s Mutual Hail Insurance Company. Bob was a member of the Tyndall Volunteer Fire Department for 21 years and also a member of the Tyndall Rotary. Bob enjoyed making jewelry and woodworking, and made many handcrafted dulcimers. He was also an avid hunter and fisherman. Bob passed away on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 at St. Michael’s Hospital in Tyndall, having attained the age of 72 years and 4 days.
