Obituary of Bob Murley

Robert “Bob” P. Murley, 80, of Fort Atkinson (formerly of West Allis and Oconomowoc) passed away on Friday July 9, 2021 at the Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Center in Johnson Creek.

Bob enjoyed playing softball for many years.  He enjoyed bowling, golfing and was an avid duck and pheasant hunter. He was a loyal fan of all Wisconsin teams including the Packers, Badgers, Brewers and Bucks. Bob was proud to have coached T-ball and umpired Little League.  He will be remembered for his sense of humor, love of his family and “grandson” dogs.  Bob will always be loved and missed.  He made the best old fashioneds so we will celebrate you with a drink and wait for you to ask, “Do you want a little iron in that?”

Bob is survived by his wife of 58 years, Joan (King) Murley; children, Jeff (Betty) Murley, Todd (Mary) Murley, Kevin (Amber) Murley; grandchildren, Kate (Isaiah) Vance, Ben Murley, Daniel Murley, Sara Murley, Anna Murley, Masin Murley, McKenna Murley, great-grandchildren who called Bob, “GG”, Will and Noah Vance; sister, Judith (Edwin) Chelsea; sister-in-law, Germaine “Geri” Albert, Maxine (Franz) Schoening, Karen King; and many other friends and relatives.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Gladys and Wilbur Murley; and brothers-in-law, Gerald “Jerry” King, Robert “Bob” Albert.
