Robert J. Muth, age 89, passed away on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at Azura Memory Care in Kenosha.
Born on January 27, 1934 in Milwaukee, WI, he was the son of the late John and Lydia (Jansen) Muth. He grew up attending local schools and received his Bachelor’s Degree from Marquette University. He later continued to take courses with the University of Indiana to continue his education in banking.

On June 18, 1955, he was united in marriage to Jean Gresser in St. Augustine Catholic Church in Milwaukee. Their union was blessed with 67 years of marriage and 2 children.
Robert enjoyed watching baseball and football- especially the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers. He loved golfing with Jean at the Kenosha Country Club on the weekends and bowling in his “spare” time. He was always willing to help, was humble and involved in many organizations. He was part of the Lions Club, Rotary, school board of St. Mary’s Academy of Milwaukee, and the Serra Board with St. Mary’s.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Jean; his daughter, Karen Ann (Curt) Borsheim; his grandchildren, Kyle (Kim) Borsheim, Dr. Kirsten (Eric Brown) Borsheim, Andrew Borsheim, and Allison Borsheim; his great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Aiden Borsheim.
