Robert B. Herriot Jr. (Bob), 71 of Friendship died Thursday, July 24, 2014 at William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital, after a three year battle with cancer.

Bob was the oldest child in a family of thirteen children. With a variety of jobs in Adams and Wisconsin Dells during his teenage years, he was able to save enough money to pay for college. Bob graduated from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in 1966 with a BA in Social Science. In 1966, he joined the US Army where he worked as an intelligence clerk. After service, he studied law at Marquette University School of Law.

In 1972, he married Margaret Gogin at St. Paul Catholic Church in Genesee Depot, WI. Margaret was the youngest child from another family of thirteen. The couple had three children, Nicole, Christopher and Jaime before separating in 1990.

Bob started a real estate development company in 1985. The company’s focus was the development of Self-Storage projects and site location services for large apartment developments. He retired in 2008 and joined First Weber Real Estate to work in his retirement years.

    My condolences to the Herriot family. I am saddened to hear of your loss. I worked with Bob at First Weber for a short time but Bob and I were able to keep in touch as he came into the credit union. His smile, outlook on life, and positive attitude was always an inspiration to me. I loved sitting in the office and listening to his stories and always made sure to pay attention to the advice he had given regarding real estate, business, and just life in general. He has truly made a positive impact on me. Bob will be missed but I’m comforted to know that he is no longer suffering.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    God Bless
