Robert “Bob” Kornesczuk

1965-2021

Robert “Bob” Kornesczuk, 56, passed away Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021 unexpectedly at UW Hospital in Madison, Wis. Bob was born June 16, 1965 in Marshfield, Wis. and grew up in Gilman on the family farm. Bob graduated from Gilman High School in 1984. Through his school years, Bob enjoyed baseball, football, fishing and driving around. Shortly after graduation, Bob moved to Jackson Hole, Wyo. working on a dude ranch and for Clark Ready-Mix. For his next adventure, Bob moved to California and began working at Hadrian Construction. Shortly after starting at Hadrian, Bob ventured on his own to open his own business “Bob K. Stukko” in Oceanside, Calif. where he specialized in lath, scaffold & plastering. After many years in California, Bob made his way to De Pere, Wis. where he lived close to his family. Settling into his life in De Pere, Bob brought his beloved cats Duke and Daisy, later adding to his family with Darcy. Bob’s love for his cats gave him a purpose and kept him going through his health struggles and dialysis appointments.

He is following the passing of his parents, Tony and Marcy Kornesczuk; brother, Sam (infant); maternal grandparents Louie and Lottie Stokosa; and paternal grandparents Tom & Mary Kornesczuk.

Bob is survived by his sister Peggy (Lonnie) Swaney of De Pere; brother Billy (Michelle) Kornesczuk of De Pere. He also is leaving behind his nephews, Christopher and Jacob Swaney, who lovingly called him “Uncle Awesome.” Also numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

A special thanks to Bob’s lifelong friend Lisa, who stuck with him through many years and was by his side at the end of his days.

Please join us in remembrance of Bob on Friday, Oct. 1. Visitation will be from 2-3 p.m. at St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church with a service to follow. Arrangements have been made with Cuddie Funeral Homes.
