Robert Thomas, 86, of Waterford, died Oct. 28, 2020 at his residence with his loving family by his side.
Robert was born to Robert and Laura (nee Wilandt) Rombca Sr. on Dec. 29, 1933 in Milwaukee. He grew up in the Milwaukee area and graduated high school before serving his country in the Army. He met the love of his life, Annette June Germanson, at a service station in Bay View. They were married June 12, 1954 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Bay View.
