Obituary of Robert James Hunger
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert "Bob" James Hunger on September 24, 2020. Born on May 21, 1943, in Arcadia Wisconsin, to the late Lloyd and Esther (Kotlarz) Hunger and was the beloved husband of Sharon (Wiener) Hunger.
Bob received his Master’s in mathematics and started working as a math and Spanish teacher at High school level. He taught for 7 years. When Bob moved to another career path, he did computer work for Unisys and did this for 36 years. He also spent some of his spare time volunteering at various charities, tutoring some of the Syrian refugees, being an active member on many boards and he was a Lay Franciscan. Also Bob was never found too far from his loving wife Sharon, the two were usually together and inseparable. They loved to travel and had adventured to many places together. It is no surprise that the most common words used to describe Bob are generous and kind.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Sharon; children Cara Lyn Churchill (Bradley) and Kristin Ann Hunger (Ian Frame); grandchildren Nicholas, Corey, April, Jill and Erika; sister Betty Kryzer (George); his sister and brother- in-law, who were just like his own siblings, Shirley Haseman and David Wiener; his cat companion Max, as well as many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Bob was predeceased by a sister Diane Breza.
