Robert S. Andrus

Robert Scharon Andrus (Bob), age 89, took his final flight into beautiful blue skies to meet his Heavenly Father on July 31, 2023, with his family embracing him. 

He was born April 19, 1934 to the late Charles and Marie (Hudson) Andrus in the Township of Turtle, WI.  He graduated from West High School in Rockford, IL with the class of 1952. He attended Colorado State University early in life before graduating with a Master’s Degree in Management from Cardinal Stritch University.  He married Charlotte Laudicina on May 12, 1983 in Rockford, IL.  

Bob worked as an Engineer in Kansas, Illinois, and Wisconsin, retiring from Tec Systems in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 

Bob enjoyed life to the fullest, which included so many memories with Charlotte, family and friends.  He proudly served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean Way in the Mediterranean Sea on the Valley Forge Air Craft Carrier.  Bob was a member of the Green Bay Flight Club at Austin Straubel Airport, taking us on many adventures over the years in his Cessna. He enjoyed sharing his wisdom and hearing ours, attending EAA, studying and discussing history, politics, woodworking, tinkering and fixing anything and everything.  Bob could take Any Thing Ever Made, and make it Just a Little Better!   

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years Charlotte; seven shared children: Richard (Diane) Andrus, Douglas (Deborah) Andrus, Sharon (Wes) Pierce and Charles Andrus; Terrie (Greg) Zimmerman, Lenny (Teresa) Winters, Patti (Yorke) Zuber, and one sister Doris (John) Huene), and dear friends Keith and Mary Pierson. 

He is also survived by many grandchildren, great grandchildren, extended family and dear friends. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, his granddaughter Trisha Winters and grandson Michael Zimmerman. 

Visitation will begin at 12:00 pm until the time of service, Tuesday August 8, 2023 3:00 pm at Highland Crest Baptist Church, 1830 Military Avenue, Green Bay with Pastor Chad Hertler officiating. Funeral Service will be held at 3:00 pm with a luncheon following in the church hall.  

Bob will take the first of their shared spots at Fort Howard Mausoleum, where they will be head to head as both requested, “so they can talk”.
