Donald C. Maurer

Donald C. “Don” Maurer was called home on June 5, 2026, passing peacefully in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by the love of his children, a simple man remembered for a life well lived, grounded in hard work, and the quiet joys that made every day meaningful.

Don was born on May 20th, 1938, beginning a journey marked by quiet strength and humble joys. He lived the majority of his life in the close-knit community of the Town of Barton, where the familiar surroundings shaped the values that would define him for a lifetime. Even as a boy, Don’s unwavering work ethic was evident. He began working at age 14, setting pins at the Lighthouse Bowling Alley, and he labored tirelessly throughout his life.

After meeting the love of his life, Phyllis May, On August 23rd, 1958, they were married and beginning a partnership filled with steadfast devotion. Don proudly served in the Wisconsin Army National Guards during their early years of marriage. Together, they raised five children, two daughters and three sons, building a family rooted in proper guidance and strong values. He instilled his steadfast work ethic in all five of his children, leaving them a legacy of integrity and determination.

Don was happiest with the simplicity of everyday life, dressed in his favorite T-shirt, flannel shirt, jeans and cap. He was a passionate outdoorsman, spending countless hours working outside around his house as well as hunting. Throughout his life, he traveled to different states hunting wild boar, antelope, mule deer, black bear as well as hunting for deer and wild turkeys here in Wisconsin, many of these trophies displayed proudly on the walls in his home. He found companionship and adventure in the woods as he pursued all kinds of game, especially as his boys grew older, and could accompany him on many of those well-loved hunts.

As he grew older, Don found peace on his trips up North to his land, deer hunting with his boys, where he could embrace the simplicity of nature and savor the beauty of the Wisconsin wilderness he so deeply loved.

His children fondly recall his endearing one day trips the past several years, driving egg cartons up to Amish communities for fresh eggs. He would always stop by the bakeries and purchase his favorites - peach pie and cinnamon rolls. The 50+ mile journey never deterred him; for Don, the best pastries and freshest eggs were worth every mile and cost of gas.

Don’s dedication to hard work defined his career. For 25 years, he contributed his skills to Mallard Coach, followed by many years of service to the City of West Bend in various departments, until his retirement in 2000. For many years, he devoted himself to the Town of Barton, first as a Town Constable and later at the transfer station, every Saturday, cutting trees and chipping brush along the roads, putting up signs and whatever else needed to be done for the Town. Don was never one to sit still, working up until the very end part-time for the Town of Barton. Even when he was admitted to the hospital, he called one of his co-workers and told them, “I’ll see you next Saturday”. His daughter Eileen quickly corrected him and said, “Oh no you won’t”. That was one of many of Don’s passions, his devotion to work.

Don was a proud Wisconsinite who cheered passionately for the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers, always loyal to his home teams. He also enjoyed watching hunting and fishing shows, anything that celebrated the great outdoors he cherished. He never missed an episode of The Price is Right or Let’s Make a Deal, often enjoying a little glass of his favorite beer during these simple pleasures.

In remembering Don, we honor a man who found fulfillment in living life to the fullest every day, measured his wealth in his family, friends, accomplishments in life and sought contentment in honest work and the beauty of the world around him. His legacy is one of unwavering devotion, a simple man whose presence left a lasting mark on all who knew him.

Don is lovingly remembered and will be deeply missed by his four children, Eileen Hanrahan (Cary Schroeter), Lori Maurer, Gary Maurer, and Kevin Maurer; his cherished grandchildren, Shannon Hanrahan, Heather Beilke, Mary Schmidt (Mike Hauser), Devan (Tom) Shepherd, Garrett (Shelby) Maurer, Nathan (Robin) Maurer, and Jordan Maurer; eight great-grandchildren; Troy Staral, Lily Rose, Ada Grace and Evie Jo Shepherd; Bennett and Nora Maurer; Trey and Ty Maurer, and his beloved Golden’s he inherited from his son Terry - April (Mama) & Holly, He is also survived by his stepsister, Beverly Ertl, along with many other relatives and dear friends who knew him.

Don, also known as "Grandpa Fuzzy," by all the grandkids, developed a deeply cherished bond between his great grandson and little buddy Troy Staral, who spent a lot of time down by Grandpa Fuzzy since his illness, helping to take care of him with his Grandma Lori. This is time that will be cherished forever.

Don was preceded in death by his loving wife of 53 years, Phyllis; his dear son, Terry Maurer; his mother, Floretta (Leo) Brunner; as well as other cherished relatives and close friends.

Visitation: Don’s Family will warmly greet family and friends at Myrhum-Patten Funeral and Cremation Service in West Bend from 9:00 am to 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 11th, 2026 (1315 West Washington Street (Highway 33), West Bend, WI 53095).

Robert G. Cook

Robert “Bob” George Cook, 89, entered into the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 3, 2026 at Cedar Lake, surrounded by his loving family.

Bob was born in Cleveland, Ohio on July 6, 1936. He was a hard worker even as a teenager, sometimes running the shoe store where he was employed when the owner was sick and unable to work. He also had paper routes and mowed lawns for neighbors. After high school, Bob was unsure of what he wanted to do, so he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, specifically choosing the smallest branch of the military. In 1959 he was stationed at Annette Island in Alaska as a radio communications technician. He always mentioned that his claim to fame was being in Alaska when it became a state.

In 1964, Bob graduated with a degree in Electronic Engineering from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. During his college years, he met Marilyn Melotik at a combined school gathering. After finally working up the courage to talk to her, they spent some time getting to know each other before he asked for her phone number. She gave it to him verbally, but didn’t expect to hear from him since he didn’t write it down. However, thanks to his excellent memory, he memorized her number instantly & called her the very next day! Bob & Marilyn were married on August 10, 1963 and enjoyed 62 wonderful years together. They were blessed with 4 daughters: Nancy, Susan, Debbie & Jenny.

Bob was an avid reader with a wide variety of interests. Most importantly, he began every morning reading his Bible. He accepted the Lord as his Savior on March 25, 1977. He was faithful to his church and managed the church bookstore for many years. He also loved connecting with others while serving as an usher and greeter.

Bob had many interests. He loved listening to Milwaukee Brewers baseball games on the radio while working outside and also enjoyed cheering for the Green Bay Packers. He was an excellent bowler in high school & continued bowling for many years. Above all, he loved his family and cherished spending time with Marilyn and their daughters. During retirement, Bob and Marilyn enjoyed extensive travels to Israel, Hawaii, Alaska and Europe. After 1 year of retirement, Bob remarked that he had done everything he wanted to do around the house and was now bored! So he went back to work part time at a hardware store and his daughter’s print shop.

Bob was the beloved husband of Marilyn; loving father of Nancy (Wally) Steger, Susan (Rob) Einfalt, Debbie (Scott) Sivnksty and Jenny (Andy) Gaschke; and loving Papa to Sean, Cole and Reid Sivnksty and Heidi, Andrew, Kiersten and Will Gaschke.

The family would like to express our deep appreciation to all who cared for our dear husband and father, from those at Froedert Hospital to the hospice nurses at Cedar Lake. We are so grateful for the kind and excellent care that he received during his final days. Thank you!

There will be a visitation on Monday, June 15 from 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in West Bend, Wisconsin. A memorial service with military honors will follow at 4:00 p.m. A private graveside service will be held at Southern Wisconsin Veterans Cemetery.

Bob wrote out several thoughts about eternity that he shared with others:

1. We are all sinners that deserve judgement.

2. Regardless of how “good” we are, there is no way for us to get to Heaven through religion or our own efforts.

3. Christ died on the cross to pay the sin penalty collectively for the whole world, and individually for each of us.

4. Eternal life is offered to us as a gift because we cannot earn it. All we can do is acknowledge that we deserve hell, ask Christ to be our Savior, and accept His free gift of salvation.

In lieu of flowers, family and friends would like to purchase a park bench in Bob's memory. It would be placed outside, surrounded by the beautiful, peaceful surroundings of Cedar Ridge in West Bend. If you would like to donate, please make a check payable to Cedar Community, noting in the memo "Bob Cook Bench".
