Obituary

Robert (Bob) H. Brose, 96, passed away peacefully Thurs-day, March 25, 2021, at Gunder-sen Health System.

Due to Covid-19 concerns, a private family funeral service will be held.

He was born to George and Ethel Brose August 23, 1924 in Ray, the youngest of four chil-dren. After graduating from high school, he volunteered, joining the U.S. Navy to serve his country during World War II. He served in the Pacific The-ater, becoming part of Ameri-ca’s Greatest Generation.

He was a proud veteran, and we are proud of him for his ser-vice. After the war he married Winnifred “Winnie” Williamson, August 29, 1948, in North Da-kota, and lived there until 1957, when they moved with their three children to the northside of La Crosse, Wisc. They be-came active “Northsiders” as supporters of various organiza-tions – PTA, Logan sports, Beth-el Lutheran Church, and mobile meals to name a few.

He worked various jobs such as a bread route driver, office manager at La Crosse Cooler Co, and as a clerk with the city of La

Crosse Treasurer’s office until his retirement. However, his fa-vorite job after retirement, was as a crossing guard on George Street where he became a “rock star” among the many kids he safely helped on their way to Roosevelt Elementary School.

Years later, he and Winnie be-came residents of Springbrook Assisted Living, Onalaska. Af-ter her untimely death in 2012, he adopted a rescue dog (Bel-

la) from the humane society, and together they became the “poster picture” for advertising Springbrook, Onalaska.

A special thanks to the staff and his many friends at Spring-brook for their kindness and support. He will be greatly missed. We also appreciate the loving care he received at Gundersen Health System dur-ing his final days.

He is survived by three chil-dren, William (Kathy) Brose, Onalaska, Brian (Maralou) Brose, Dodge Center, Minneso-ta, and Sue (Tom) Gullette, The Villages, Florida; a sister, Har-riet Karrib, Madison, Wiscon-sin; four grandchildren, Stacy (Aaron) Giddings, Scott Brose, Andrew (Erin) Brose, and Mere-dith Brose; and five great-grand-children, Emma, Jack, Vivien, Sloane, and Karsyn.

He was preceded in death by parents, brother Glenn, and sis-ter Hazel.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Bethel Lutheran Church, La Crosse or the Coulee Region Humane Society. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.dickinsonfuneral-homes.com
