God called Robert J. "Bob" Pabst home to heaven on May 30, 2018. He was currently residing at Hammond Health Services in Hammond, WI.

Bob was born on December 15, 1932 at the Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, Minnesota to Lawrence and Esther Pabst. He was raised in North St. Paul, MN and confirmed at Christ Lutheran Church in North St. Paul. He graduated from North St. Paul High School in 1950 and moved to Wisconsin with his parents to a farm in Black Brook Township. Bob learned what farming was all about and did construction work as well. He served in the US Army in 1953 and was stationed in Korea and Japan until his honorable discharge in 1955. On July 2, 1955 he married his High School sweetheart, June Hartwig at Christ Lutheran Church in North St. Paul. Together they were blessed with five children, Bradley, Candace, Lori, David and Daniel. After several more years of construction work, he became employed by the Amery Police Department in 1959. In 1966 he became a member of WI DOT as a Driver's license examiner and the family moved to Milwaukee, WI. They were then transferred to Ladysmith, and then to New Richmond, WI. The family lived in New Richmond long enough for their children to graduate from High School. In 1980 they built a log cabin just South of Amery. Bob retired in 1995 after over 35 years of Public service. He enjoyed fishing, deer hunting, and camping with his family. He loved the woods and cut firewood for many years. Bob was a faithful member of his present church, and served on the church board for many years. He loved to sing, especially the old hymns, and loved getting hugs from his family.

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Esther Pabst, and infant daughter, Candace. He is survived by his beloved wife of 63 years, June of Clear Lake, WI; his four children, Bradley (Bea) of Tacoma, WA; Lori (Duane) Page of Charlotte, NC; David (Teri) of Middleton, WI; Daniel (Sally) of Ellsworth, WI; brother, Donald (Barb) of New Richmond, WI; brother in law, James (LeIsle) Hartwig of Scandia, MN; 12 grandchildren, Jonathan, Deanna, Emily and Joseph Page, Lora, Danielle, Heidi, James and Noah Pabst, Alex, April and Austin Pabst, 13 great grandchildren as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
