Waterford – Robert Thomas Urbush, age 75, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 20, 2020.
Bob was born in Racine on June 30, 1944 to the late Anton and Joan (nee: Zalewski) Urbush. He was a 1962 graduate of St. Catherine’s High School. On October 4, 1969 in St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Bob was united in marriage with the love of his life, Susan G. Schmidt. Bob and Sue lived in Racine until 1997, when they moved to Waterford, where they loved living waterside of the Fox River.
Bob was employed with SC Johnson Wax for over 40 years, retiring in 2003. He was a longtime member of Holy Name Catholic Church in Racine and, since moving to Waterford, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. Bob was a member of the SCJ 20 Year Club, SCJ Fishing Club and the Southport Pistol Club. Among his interests, he was a fishing, hunting, trap shooting enthusiast. As a great fan of sports, Bob played in various volleyball & softball leagues and had coached his daughters’ volleyball teams at Holy Name. Above all, Bob was all about his family. They were his everything.
Surviving are his loving wife of over 50 years, Susan “Sue”; adored daughter, June Marie (Vincent) Costanzo; favorite grandson, Alexander Robert Costanzo; nieces & nephews, Leann Pomaville (great-niece, Kiera Roome & great-nephew, Conner Roome), Mark (Lynn) Pomaville & family, John (Marisa) Beffel & family and special niece, Teresa McCabe; other dear relatives & friends – too numerous to mention all by name.
Bob was greeted in Heaven by his beautiful daughter, Carrie Sue Urbush (who passed away on December 18, 1993); sister, Carol (Charles) Beffel; Sue’s parents, Gilbert & Dorothy Schmidt; and sister-in-law, June (Michael) Pomaville.

Greg and Karen Prust says
Oh Dear Bob. Your will be sorely missed by Greg and I and all of the Schmidt family. Our fond memories of us on your pontoon boat, playing Sheepshead, you cutting up meat at the Roasting of the Beast and all the weddings we attended together. You were a fine man Bob. Now you can finally be at peace and no more pain. You were such a trooper in life. You are home now Bob in the arms of the Lord. We will be seeing you again someday. Wait for us at the gate.
Al and Karen Kroll says
So sorry to hear of Bobs passing. Always had a good time whether at SCJ or one of the after work activities. He will be missed at Tuesday morning breakfast.
Bill and Nancy (Sherwood) Porasik, wi.rr.com says
Will never forget the times we use to go drag racing and “scoop the loop” in downtown Racine. Also all the hours we put on our cars, mine a 57 Chevy and yours. Also, when we ran into each other while working at S C Johnson Wax.
Sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I am doing fine but fighting cancer which I hope goes into remission.
Had many good memories of our days together in our youth. Bill Porasik
