Dear Sue, Kelly, Matt and Leah, I'm SO sorry I missed finding out about your husband and Dad's passing. I just happened to see his notice in today's Sunday paper. Bob was simply the best! You were all most blessed to have the best family man and best parent ever. He was my insurance agent for many years, always quick with a joke and devoted to sharing the latest news on each of you (I married an insurance guy from Chicago or Bob would have still been my go-to guy!) He'd be proud if you remember the lessons he taught you and how very much he loved you! I know he now lives on in each of you. I miss you all. ❤️ All my best, Sue (Tennent) Nichols

I became friend's with Winck's @ the Redskins in 1983. We later connected in Madison when I started coaching for his beloved Badger's. It was a pleasure to call him my friend & teammate. Rest well Bob, God bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Jay Hayes & family

So sorry to hear about Bob's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sue and the Winckler family. Bob and Kari Juedes

Sorry to hear about Bob's passing. The video was such a warm and loving tribute to his life and legacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Winckler family. -Ed and Anne Sommers and Family

My name is John "V" Nelson and I worked with Bob @ Lifetouch before I retired in 2008. I had the Milwaukee territory. I nicknamed Bob Hog" since he was drafted by the Redskins. I have a message for his wife and especially his kids. One day I needed a big camera piece and Hog brought me what I needed. It weighed a ton, well not quite. As a result my camera guy was able to finish the "shoot" and all the families were taken care of. What I wanted to tell Hog's son and daughters was follow in your Dad's footsteps. When God calls you to help someone it's not a random act of kindness, it's seeing the right thing to do. I pray 🙏 that for my family. And I pray 🙏 that for your family. Maybe I'll stop sometime to see y'all. Here's my email if you want to reply: jvnelson9@gmail.com.

Dear Winckler Family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to your family. I only new Bob for a few short months as our account manger with Harmann Studios. He was a pleasure to work with, supportive and always helpful. I truly enjoyed our conversations. I remember the day when he talked about his granddaughter. Such joy could be heard in his voice. May God give you His peace at this difficult time. Bonnie Lauersdorf St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Lebanon, Wisconsin

Sue and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met Bob through work (DMW) but we developed a good friendship and golfed many Friday mornings before work for 2-3 years. He helped me while I coached youth football and always had my back. We both agreed "Moose Tracks" is one of the finest ice creams ever made 🙂 Bob took me to at least 3 NFL Alumni golf outings and dinners and I really enjoyed his friendship. I as still shocked to lose a friend of the same age. I will miss him too. My prayers are with you all. God Bless. Brian Brandstetter

I enjoyed every minute we talked and I was so fortunate for our lives to collide this past year at work. He was always positive and funny. Through all the cancer treatments he was a fighter and took life head like I am sure he did his whole life. Praying for Bob and his family with quick and peaceful healing of their br head oken hearts. He will bring him in to heaven with joy and Bob will now be gracing his family and friends from above.

To Sue and the rest of the family God bless you all and God bless Bob! Bob was a sweetheart of a man and a hell of a competitor. I was so blessed to have him as a teammate and it was always great seeing him at games with his wonderful smile! He will always be a bright spot in my life as a badger! Rest in peace big boy we all love you! Mark Doran

Bob was a special person in real life and now we have special memories of him. Like when we had to take a car ride to St. Lawrence to get a helmet that would fit, to his playing for the Badgers, being selected in the draft, and the Super Bowl ring. He was such a warm person. Doris and Coach Jerry Meoulemans

One couldn't live on Skyline without knowing the Winkler's! He was a kind person, and had such a huge heart. I am saddened to hear of his passing. ❤️

My deepest sympathy to Bob's family. I worked with Bob on our parish photo directory. He was a true professional! May he Rest In Peace.

My deepest sympathy to your family. My son, Andrew works with Matt... just so happens my husband (Andrew's Dad) lost his battle 2 years ago to the same Cancer as Bob. We know your loss and we know your pain. I pray for God's comfort, strength and peace in the days ahead. Regards, Gerri Hoffman

Our deepest condolences for your family. We had the pleasure of living across the street from the Winckler family for 17 years and enjoyed the many neighborhood gatherings and all the sports activities all our boys participated in together. Thoughts & prayers for your family🙏🙏💕💕

Winks....I can't believe you're gone but the pain is over and you're ina much better place. I know you and Marty are having a "heavenly" cocktail together right now. We had many good times on and off the field. Probably more off! RIP buddy and know you'll me missed. Prayers to Sue and the family BOB LIEBETRAU

My condolences to the Winkler family. I spend a lot of time with Bob on the football and track team. Also many nights at Bobs Starlight . One game stands out as Bob and i buried one of the Tennies playing for West , in the backfield.

I had the upmost pleasure of being 1 of Bobby's roommates many years ago. Words cannot express what an impact he made on my life. The gentle giant is now at peace. Hugs to Sue and the family.....May God give you the peace and strength to get through this very difficult time.

You all have my deepest sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. A very fond memory I have of Bob is when he made Kelly's 7th grade mythology project video. It was so funny and extremely well edited. The best 7th grade project in my 33 years as a teacher.

Prayers to the Winkler family. RIP Bob you will be greatly missed by your family and friends. Jerry & Rita Doerger
