Robert "Stubby" Stahowiak, age 93, passed away on August 12, 2025, in Markesan, WI. He was born to Irene Stahowiak on March 16, 1935, in WI.
In his free time, he could often be found discovering new treasures at the Princeton Flea Market or various auctions and rummage sales. He was always recognized by the ticket he stuck in the rim of his hat.
He is survived by his son, Gary (Cyndi) Stahowiak; daughter, Jane (George) Perr; grandchildren, Bob Stahowiak, Corey (Brett) Merckx and Angie (Tom McGwin) Stahowiak; great-grandchildren, Zach and Josh Stahowiak, Megan and Ethan Merckx, Isiah Stahowiak, Elaine, Sophie and Lydia Nowicki.
Preceding him in death was his mother, Irene Stahowiak-Hoffman; and his maternal grandparents.
A private family service will be held. His final resting place will be at the Princeton City Cemetery, Princeton, WI.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Markesan Residence Home and ThedaCare Hospice for their care and compassion.
