Robert “Bob” N. King Jr.

Robert (Bob) King Jr. of Muskego found peace on September 2, 2023, at the age of 74.  Bob was born May 15, 1949, the oldest son of the late Robert & Lorraine King Sr.  He is reunited with his brother Jimmy who passed 10 days before.

Bob is survived by: His fiancé Candace Gaffney, with whom he enjoyed love and companionship in his final years and enjoyed watching many movies together. Daughter Jeannie (Kevin) Henrichs, grandkids Curt, Jacob, Travis, and Emily. Daughter Tricia King, grandkids Leia, Ariel, Sébastien and Orion King. Son Bobby King III Stepdaughter Pilar (Derek) Wadina, grandkids Cole and Rylan. Siblings Kathy Yiannackopoulos, Sandy, Michael (Gina) King, Peggy Kostuck, and Jeff (Cece) King. He is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, and special friends.

The King siblings are a special bunch, always being there for each other.  Bob was blessed with all the love and support he had from his siblings during his life.  The last few years were particularly hard for Bob, but his siblings were an amazing support.

His special “adopted” family Diego Gracia, Curt Wadina, Joel, Noelle, grandkids Anthony, and Jayden Przybilla.

His special friend Joyce who brought so much joy into his life these last 3 years.  She was his Cribbage and Bingo buddy.  She cooked and baked for him and was always there to care for him when he needed help.  Thank you, Joyce for the love and support you gave him.

Bob was one of those special people that everyone loved.  He was fun to be around and always had a smile on his face.  He loved spending time with his family and friends playing Rummy Royal, Scrabble (held championship title among his opponents), Poker or Cribbage.  He loved shooting pool for massages (Pilar & Diego owe him about 4,000 massages!). He loved golfing, bowling, or enjoying a captain and coke with his loved ones. Bob always had advice or wisdom to share with all.  A lover of butter “margarine is one molecule away from being plastic” was a story that came up at most gatherings.  The Yiannackopoulos kids will always remember getting a kick out of his description of the “double fist chest punch” he used, to get out of a ruckus back in his younger days.  He was also a poet, writing poems to satisfy every palate.

Bob will be missed but wherever he is, may he be smiling upon us.

“Cheers Papa King!”
