He was born in Manitowoc on July 11, 1933, the son of the late Raymond Joseph and Margaret Leona (nee: Franz) Hallisy.  Bob graduated from Manitowoc Lincoln High School in 1951. After graduation he attended St. Lawrence and St. Meinrad Seminaries.   Following his time in the seminary he served his nation in the U.S. Army from 1958-1960.  After his service, Bob earned his teaching degree from UW Manitowoc MCTC in 1963.

After graduation, Bob moved to Racine where he met Jeanne Adamski as teachers at Roosevelt Elementary.   On August 8, 1964, Bob and Jeanne married at Holy Name Catholic Church.  Bob worked at J. I. Case – Clausen Works from 1963 to 1998.
Bob was a longtime member of Holy Name and St. Richard of Chichester Catholic Church.  He was a fanatic golfer, card player and always looked forward to playing in his Schafskopf and Humble Park card clubs.  However, Bob was happiest in the company of his family.
