• Notes

  The Waunakee Tribune (WI) December 26, 2012 Robert W. Hoskins, age 71 of Waunakee, passed away on Friday, Dec. 21, at home with his loving family surrounding him. Bob fought a courageous 5-year battle with multiple myeloma and lung cancer. He was a best friend and loving husband of 50 years to Nancy (McGinnis), beloved father of Jennifer Wharton, father-in-law of Daniel Wharton and very proud grandfather of Kylie and Devin Wharton. He is also survived by his mother, Ernestine Hoskins and many nephews, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Harley Hoskins, sister Janice Schroeder and a Grandson, Danny. Bob was born in Spooner, Wis., in 1941. He grew up in Madison attending West High School. During his career he was employed at First Wisconsin Bank and started his lifelong career with American Family Insurance in 1964 as a claims examiner. He was an insurance agent with American Family for several years in Waunakee and was later promoted to District Sales Manager with the company. He retired in 2002 after a very successful career in insurance. He was a member of the American Legion and Waunakee Rotary Club. Bob's friendly and gregarious personality endeared him to all that met him. His favorite saying was "you can't beat fun for having a good time" and he lived his life with that attitude. He especially loved being with his grandchildren and was a wonderful grandpa to them.
