In retirement, he enjoyed traveling and spending time at their lake home with family, friends and especially his grandchildren. Bob was an avid Wisconsin sports fan. He also enjoyed golfing, playing euchre and making his famous chocolate chip cookies. Bob was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents: Alfred and Rose Saliger; twin brother, Richard; brother, Jerome; and sister, Rosemary Borgen.
He is survived by his wife Colette; four children, Kari (Tim) Paulson of North Prairie, Kurt (Cindy) Saliger of Rome, Kathy (Jerry) Kiedrowski of Fitchburg, Kim (Rob) Reinhart of Manitowoc and six grandchildren: Jennifer and Matthew Paulson, Jacob Kiedrowski, Brett, Bradley, and Breanna Reinhart: as well as many other relatives and friends.
