Robert “Bob” R. Rogowski

March 9, 1943 - February 10, 2017

Died peacefully at home on Friday, February 10, 2017, one month shy of his 74th birthday. Husband of 50 years to Pat (nee Fike). Human Google and father of Cathy (favorite son in law Mark) Seifert. Super Proud Grandpa of Jacob and Ryan Seifert. Further survived by his niece Sue Hochrine, nephew Mike Hall, cousins Janet Kopp, Father Thomas Maikowski, additional family and many friends, including his buddies in the model railroading community and his cat Peggy.

Bob was a proud former bus driver for the Brown Deer School District for numerous years and he was an industrial salesman throughout the Milwaukee area. He was a model railroading enthusiast that enjoyed sharing his hobby with his grandsons.

He also was a Vietnam Era veteran in the US Army stationed in Japan as a communications specialist.

No formal funeral services will be held at this time. We look forward to celebrating Bob’s life at a gathering this summer. Details to follow.

Whenever you see or hear a train, think of Bob chugging along.

Very saddened to hear of Bob's passing. Always enjoyed visiting his N gauge railroad to see what the recent improvements to his constantly changing layout were, and talking about life which he loved to do. When he was the bus driver and my son was in sports we spent time chatting watching the Brown Deer soccer, and baseball games which was alot of fun too. Bob was a special guy, I will miss him! My condolences to his whole family,
