Dear Brau family-
My deepest condolences for your great loss! My mother, Marilyn Otto Stellberg would always go on about what a wonderful husband, father, and family man that Uncle Bob was. My dad spoke highly of him, too, and told us about his long career at Johnson’s Wax. I remember him from my childhood at Grandma and Grandpa Otto’s house on Sunday afternoons, as a big, kind, gentle man. I know you will miss him always. He was so blessed to have been the patriarch of such a large, loving family!
Love and prayers,
Ann (Stellberg) Atkins
