Robert F. Lueck

Bob Lueck, age 94 of Appleton, passed away peacefully early on the morning of June 29, 2018. Bob was born in Hortonville on May 24, 1924, son of the late Elmer and Elsie (Radichel) Lueck. In 1930, while Bob was still a young boy, the family moved to a farm near Seymour. He graduated from Seymour High School in 1942, and married the former LaVila Timm on February 26, 1945. She preceded him in death in 2012.

Bob worked in the trucking industry for thirty-seven years, retiring in 1985. He was an extremely talented carpenter, and over the years enjoyed building several homes which his family eagerly moved into upon their completion. He loved doing handyman work for family and friends, was an avid hunter, and had a true love for music.

Bob is survived by two daughters: Joan Lueck and Diane (James) Strelka; four grandchildren: Lisa Wilderman, Sara (Kris) Meiers, Jamie (Jason) Daily, and Jaclyn (Greg) Schmidt; eight great-grandchildren: Shannen and Bryce Parker, Noah and Jonah Meiers, Zachary and Kailah Daily, and Kelsey and Abigail Schmidt; and a sister-in-law: Betty Lueck. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Vi, a son Bob Lueck, Jr. and a granddaughter Heather.

The Christian Funeral for Bob will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at ST. PAUL EV. LUTHERAN CHURCH, 302 N. Morrison Street in Appleton with Kenneth Frey officiating. Entombment will be at Highland Memorial Park. Friends may call at the church on Tuesday morning from 9:00 AM until the time of the service. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established.

The family would like to express their thanks to the staff at the Appleton Retirement Community, Rennes Health Center, and to Heartland Hospice for their care and kindness.
