Zill Sr., Robert L.

Robert L. Zill Sr., age 61, a resident of Manitowoc, entered eternal life on Sunday, November 27, 2016 with his family by his side.

Bob was born on February 10, 1955 in Manitowoc to LeRoy Zill and the late LaVerne Johnson Zill. He graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1973, and then went on to obtain his Bachelors Degree from University of Wisconsin - Madison as an Evans Scholar. Bob was a life-long, well respected salesman that travelled the world doing what he loved, ultimately starting his own firm, Zill Consulting LLC. Through his world travels, he made many lasting friendships - both business and personal. He was a brilliant, generous, loyal and strong individual. Bob held high family values and loved his children and grandchildren tremendously. Jeanne and Joy, Bob's sisters, were very close with their brother. A recent sibling London trip was such a gift. He respected his father Leroy, took him for breakfast and always called from all over the globe to check in on him. Bob enjoyed music and concerts, attending Badger games, but above all, he cherished the time he spent with his family and friends. Bob had a special place in his heart for his nieces and nephews and was very proud of their accomplishments.

Survivors include Bob's three children who he loved very much and would do anything for: Robert (Sadie) Zill Jr., Neenah; Jennifer (Adam) Dirkmann, Mishicot; Natasha Zill (Nick Meyer), Manitowoc; three grandchildren who were the light of his life: Harper, Nash, and recently-born Layla whom he was able to hold before he passed away; father: LeRoy Zill, Manitowoc; two sisters: Joy (Terry) Orth and Jeanne (Larry) Panosh, all of Manitowoc; nieces and nephews to include: Christopher (Jessica) Orth, Tiffani Orth (Grant Wabnitz), Brett and Amanda Panosh; also other relatives and friends. Bob was preceded in death by his mother whom he loved dearly, LaVerne.

Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, December 2, 2016 at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ, 2801 Garfield Street, Two Rivers. Rev. Kim Henning and Rev. Colie Bettivia will officiate with burial of Bob's cremated remains to take place at Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc. The family will greet relatives and friends at the Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home on Thursday, December 1, 2016 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be no visitation at the church on Friday prior to the memorial service. Cremation has taken place at Harrigan Parkside Crematory and Chapel. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.harriganparksidefuneralhome.com

The Harrigan Parkside Funeral Home and Crematory, North 11th and St. Clair streets, Manitowoc is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.

Bob was a great father and grandpa, great son, great brother, great friend, great professional…a great man. His father commented that he learned something new from him everyday and was gifted with a tremendous memory.

On Wisconsin, Pops!
