Robert Wrobleski Sr.

Robert Joseph Wrobleski, Sr. 84 of Beardstown, died on Friday, December 26, 2025 at his home.

He was born June 19, 1941, in Danvers Minnesota, the son of Robert and Maryann Eidenshink Wrobleski.

He is survived by one daughter Robine Bolen (husband Ernie) of Beardstown; two sons Trever Wrobleski (wife Brandy) and Travis Wrobleski (wife Amber) both of Beardstown; seven grandchildren Dakota Bolen (fiance Hayley Sloan), Vanessa Bolen, Justice, Drake, Lyric, Aspen, & Drayden Wrobleski (wife Katie); five sisters Mary Ann Wrobleski, Jane Woods (husband Chuck), Linda Kurkosky (husband Gerald), Joan Lantz (husband David), and Darlene Miller (husband Dave), numerous nieces and nephews; and his very close friend considered like a son Mack Dailey.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter Shawn Marie Wrobleski, a son Robert Joseph "BJ" Wrobleski Jr., a grandson Trever Wrobleski Jr., five sisters Louise Weber,Betty Mitchell,Pauline Wrobleski,Joann Kurkosky, and four brothers August, Leo, Alfred and Fred Wrobleksi. Bob grew up in a large family as sixth in line of fifteen children, where he learned the value of hard work at a young age while helping manage the family farm. In 1967, he moved to Beardstown and began a long and dedicated career as a Groundman Truck Driver/ Operator. Bob worked as a groundman for 37 years and was a proud member of Local IBEW 51, retiring in 2004.

Retirement never slowed Bob down. He stayed busy helping his son-in-law, spending time mowing, and was always willing to lend a hand with anything that was asked of him. He especially cherished time with his grandchildren and enjoyed tinkering in his shed and watching Westerns at any hour of the day. Bob's door was always open, and he never turned anyone away. He had a big heart, a strong work ethic, and a loyal spirit that will be deeply missed.

Funeral services will be held at 11 AM Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at Colwell Memorial Home in Beardstown. Burial will follow in the Beardstown City Cemetery. The family will meet with friends one hour prior to the services at the memorial home on Wednesday.
