Robert Feuling passed away at the age of 81 after a brief illness. He was born in Madison to Alma (Feuling) Jacobson and Leroy Feuling.

Returning to Madison, he worked as an electrician for Havey Electric and was very active in the union, IBEW Local 159.
Bob had a great sense of humor, loving to make his friends and family laugh. He was a voracious reader, particularly of American history. He closely followed Wisconsin sports teams, watching the Brewers faithfully until the end. An avid lifelong fisherman, he retired to Friendship in Adams County in 1997 where he spent many enjoyable hours fishing on Castle Rock Lake with fishing buddy Tom Kreisler. He also loved his retirement routine of going out to breakfast daily to connect with friends and read his daily newspapers.
Bob was predeceased by his parents Alma (Feuling) Jacobson and Leroy Feuling, step-mother Alice Feuling, step-father Sonny Jacobson, brother Gary Storlid, and longtime companion Elda Petterson. He is survived by siblings John (Frani, Atlanta), Cynthia Marino (Milwaukee), Mary Navis (Calvin, Hilton Head), Mike (Miami), Tom (Sun Prairie), Steven (San Francisco), Jerry Jacobson (Barbara, Wilton), Joyce Conant (Wilton), daughter Dana (Robert, San Diego), and grandsons Chris Ferguson (Emily, San Diego), and James Ferguson (Seattle).
A celebration of life will be held on July 11, 2015 at noon at Carlson’s Rustic Ridge Supper Club in Friendship.
