Robert Socha

Robert (Bob) Florian Socha, 59, Edgar, passed peacefully at home on August 1, 2022.

He was born to the late Florian and Kathleen (Taves) Socha on November 21, 1962. Being born in late November ensured that he never missed any opening day of gun season and would celebrate each birthday doing what he loved.

Bob married his love, Charlene (Seliger), on June 11, 1982. This past year they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.

Bob is survived by his wife, Charlene, and three children: Melissa (Joe) Schmirler, Justin (Sheri) Socha and Tyler (Breanna) Socha, along with all his amazing grandchildren who he loved with all his heart: Dusty, Brianna, Carter, Adelyn, Emmett and Landon. He is also survived by his brother, Brian (Wendy) Socha; father-in-law, Hugo Seliger; sister-in-law, Denise (Tim) Schueller, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Bar, and mother-in-law Mary Jane Seliger.

Bob enjoyed the many simple things in life. Camping, hunting, fishing and gambling. But most of all enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

He loved to share stories and bring laughter to others (no matter how crazy the story may be), he enjoyed being the life of the party.

Robert worked for 40 years in the cheese industry within Foremost Farms/ Wisconsin Dairy. He retired August 2020 as maintenance supervisor.

A special thank you to Jody Baseman for her assistance with making Bob comfortable and making his wishes of being home with his family possible.

A service was held at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022. Family and friends gathered at 9 a.m. until the time of Mass at 12 noon. Burial was at St. John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery.

John J. Buettgen Funeral Home is assisting family at this time. Online condolences may be expressed at HonorOne.com.
