Robert "Bob" William Butzlaff, age 85, of Omro, died peacefully early Tuesday morning, December 6, 2016, at Omro Care Center. He was born October 23, 1931, in Oshkosh, the eighth of ten children to William and Bessie (Bartols) Butzlaff. Bob grew up in Oshkosh and worked at the Oshkosh Foundry until he enlisted in the United States Air Force on March 30, 1951. He was sent to Korea and was an Airman 2nd Class in the 6149th Tactical Control Group, calling in airstrikes behind enemy lines. He was honorably discharged from the service on April 5, 1955 and shortly thereafter was hired as a Personal Care Technician at Winnebago Mental Health Institute. While at work he met, and married the love of his life, Barbara Schroeder on January 4, 1964. A son, Robert A. was born on May 19, 1965, a daughter, Amy, on July 3, 1967 and a second daughter, Susan, on March 29, 1972. Bob was an avid Packer fan, and his children learned much colorful language from their father during football season. After 34 years of employment, Bob retired from Winnebago to enjoy his time crafting, playing on computers and later playing with his grandchildren.
