Racine – Robert Richard Connell, 53, passed away unexpectedly at his residence on September 7, 2019. He was born in Milwaukee on December 22, 1965, son of the late William and Patricia (Nee: Pesko) Connell.
Bob was a coil winder for the Eaton Corporation. He liked to live life to the fullest and was always on the go. Bob had a sincere appreciation for nice vehicles and things that “go fast” including motorcycles, jet skis, and snowmobiles. His creativity and ingenuity are showcased in much of his work, including his home which was the ultimate expression for who he was. His ability to see the best in everything that he did, will leave a lasting impression on anyone who knew him. Bob had many family and friends that loved him and he will be truly missed.

When you came into my life, your heart touched mine and our souls were entwined. This “wound” will never heal. I know you will always watch over and protect the one thing, we did get right. I will miss your kind ways, smile, sense of humor, all that you were…..just YOU! May I walk at your side again, never in front of or behind, just how you made me feel in this life…. except this time we get it right, no “too much water” under the bridge. Until we meet again ….my friend…my ❤
