Robert Horkhiemer January 3rd, 1938 – August 1st, 2021
Bob entered eternal life on August 1st in the presence of his family after a long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.
Bob loved visiting family farms, gardening, bird watching, hiking, camping, reading, and spending time with his grandchildren. He had a big laugh and loved to talk with people. He was a man of deep faith in God. He loved to pray and to study theology. His faith in God impacted the way he lived out his everyday life. He had tremendous integrity and concern for others. He owned and operated Bob on North Barbershop for 35 years.
He will be missed by his beloved wife of 54 years, Kathleen; his dear children Mary Ann (Alex), Kelly (Rick), Rob (Katie), daughter-in-law Courtney, and Kevin (Caryn); his cherished grandchildren Evan (Bibbit), Stephen (Alicia), Michael (Cecilia), Daniel, Katie, Jacob, Alaina, Catherine, Jonah, John, Clare, Emmeline, Joshua, Danny, Solomon, and Dominic; and his great-grandchildren Amber, Regina, Charles, Felicity, and Stella. He is further survived by his sister Patricia (Anthony) and sister-in-law, Maureen, as well as many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Wilma, his brother Ronald, and his sons John and Daniel.
A special thanks to Rent-a-Daughter, Home Instead, Luther Manor Hospice, Jane Ruh, and the many dedicated caregivers for their loving care of Bob throughout his illness. Thank you also to the BILD team members (Ed, Troy, Dan, and Melissa) who provided modifications and equipment for Bob’s care.
There will be a wake on Sunday, August 8th from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM at Krause Funeral Home in Milwaukee, 9000 West Capitol Drive, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Dear Bob,
May your great journey as you transition from this life to the next be a blessed one. It's been a pleasure to get to know your daughter Mary, who sure does seem to be continuing your witness of faith and love at Mercy Burlingame. Know that you and all the family are held in prayer.
Rest now dear one; blessings;

When I moved into Wauwatosa in June of 1980, I first met Bob when he was on 64th and North. He remained my barber until he retired. I always enjoyed conversing with him and sharing stories. I missed him when he retired and I still think about him from time to time. My condolences and God comfort the family.

I was sad and surprised to learn of Bob's passing. He was my barber from 1989 until 2006 when he retired. I always looked forward to my haircut along with enjoying insightful and humorous conversion with him. Above all, Bob clearly showed that he know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
May the Lord Jesus Christ be with the Horkheimer family at this time and forevermore.
