Windsor - Robert (Bob) Franklin Hildebrandt, age 75, passed away on Monday, August 19, 2024, after a short illness at UW hospital, surrounded by loved ones. He was born on September 24, 1948, in Madison, WI to Robert and Alberta (Loeser) Hildebrandt. He was raised as a Catholic and had a loving relationship with God. He was employed as a Union Ironworker for 40 years until his retirement. After retirement, he continued working as a carpenter, building decks, sunrooms, and many other things. Bob was a wonderful person, always willing to help anyone out. He was the most loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He will be missed terribly by our family and others.

    It's hard to understand why , but as I thought it over and over I realized with Bob there was Sandy. Two people who loved as they did can not be kept apart. Bob had to go and Sandy was waiting. They both are in the arms of the Lord they went home. We miss them both so much but I find comfort knowing they are exactly where they should be. Home, together resting in the arms of our Lord.

    I wish I were able to attend the service but I can't. He was a great neighbor and always ready with a smile. So sorry for your losses this year. Hope to see you around. -Vicky Coulter

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
