Robert Wollin

Robert Lyle Wollin, 74, of Waterloo, passed away peacefully surrounded by the people he loves most at the Veterans Hospital in Madison on Saturday, October 30, 2021.

Robert was born on July 13, 1947 to Lyle and Doris (Hornickel) Wollin. He married the love of his life Kathleen Rood on July 26, 1969 and was a devoted husband for 52 years. Robert had a passion for animals, especially their dog Puffy. He enjoyed attending his grandsons sporting events and rarely missed a game or school function. Robert was truly a family man and demonstrated core values in everything he did. Family always came first to Robert. He was also devoted care giver to his wife and a hero to his children and grandson. He was Superman to a lot of his family and friends.  He also had a love for John Deere Tractors and we’re at peace knowing that he is up in Heaven tearing up the fields with “Elvira” playing on his radio.

Robert is survived by his wife Kathleen, 2 daughters Melissa (Phil Green), Carrie (Forrest Georgilles), and grandson who was his pride and joy, Landin Wollin, and 3 sisters Joan (Tom) Sanderson, Pam (Kendal) Lemke, and Sue (Ed) Kasten. He is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

He is preceded in death by his parents and special nephew Brad Sanderson.
