Robert “Bob” Lipinski, 82, of Waterford, passed peacefully with family at his side on Monday, July 18, 2022 at Waterford Senior Living.
Bob was born in Milwaukee on Jan. 19, 1940, to Leo and Sophie (nee Boniewicz) Lipinski. He was drafted into the Army after the Korean conflict and into the “ready unit” for Vietnam. He proudly served his country for six years. On May 14, 1966, he was united in marriage with Shirley Przybylski in Cudahy. He worked 15 years for Kroger as a meat cutter. He was also a small factory supervisor for a time and worked in retail sales.
Bob and Shirley raised and cared for tropical fish and later Bob learned to treat certain fish diseases. Bob enjoyed a good game of golf, bowling, fishing and hunting. Later in life Shirley and Bob visited twenty-five assisted living facilities with their music ministry. This was a joy for them and a joy to all who listened to their sounds of ministry. Bob experienced many wonderful things as he kept active, most of all he enjoyed the comfort of his wife and family. Sadly, he will be missed by all who knew him.
Bob is survived by his loving wife Shirley; children, Dale (Jennifer) Lipinski and Jane (Matt) Weinstock; grandchildren, Brandon and Brianna Lipinski (fiancé Kyle Erickson), and Madeline, Megan, Emma and Eden Weinstock; great-granddaughter Oaklee Grace; and other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Rosemarie (Walter) Krzyzkowski, Leo (Joan) Lipinski, Jerry (Terry) Lipinski, Ed Lipinski, and Marlene (Michael) Foulke.
