Obituary
Robert "Bob" Dennis Dei, age 59, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully at his home in Kewaskum, on Thursday, September 21, 2023. He was born in West Bend, Wisconsin on November 26, 1963, to Byron and Lucille (Scheerer) Dei. Voted "Most Rowdy" by his peers, Bob was a graduate of Kewaskum High School, Class of 1982. Bob was united in marriage to Laure Beine on August 18, 1990, in Slinger, Wisconsin.
Bob was an enthusiast of Harley Davidson motorcycles and a wide variety of music, particularly Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne. In his retirement, he enjoyed preparing food, traveling, and visiting with family and friends. He took pride in operating and working on heavy equipment, fabricating and repurposing materials for use around the Dei ranch, and supporting his daughters in their career endeavors and hobbies. Bob was a strong union advocate and member of the Operating Engineers Local 139 for 34 years, retiring as a crane operator working for Findorff, Inc. in 2018. From the crushing crews and highway dirt work at the start of his career, to power plants and crane operation in Milwaukee and Madison – he had a passion for discussing his involvement in the jobs he worked on with anyone who would take interest.
Bob is survived by his wife of 33 years, Laure (Beine) Dei; 3 daughters, Katelyn Dei, Savannah Dei (Cody Julian), and Aubrey Dei; grand-dogs, Ruby, Loretta, and Sage; mother, Lucille Dei; siblings, Thomas Dei, Susan Dei, Bill (Lori) Dei, Laura (Dan) Waehler, Linda Guelig, and Sharon (Jeff) Werner. He is further survived by his brother-in-law, Christopher Beine, sister-in-law Katherine Dei, as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Bob is preceded in death by his father Byron Dei, brother Jim Dei, mother-in-law Kay Beine, father-in-law Harold Beine, and sister-in-law Debbie Dei.
A Celebration of Bob's Life will be held on his 60 th birthday, Sunday, November 26, 2023, at Foundry 45 (9480 US Hwy 45) in Kewaskum. Visitation with the family and refreshments will be served from noon to 2pm, with a light meal to follow.
