Celebration of Life:

Robert D. “Bob” Aggson, age of 87, formerly of Pueblo, Colorado and late of Appleton, Wisconsin, passed peacefully at his home on Thursday morning, March 16, 2023. Bob was born in Iowa City, Iowa on January 31, 1936. He was a faithful Christian who loved America. As a young man, he entered the United States Army and was stationed in Germany for two years. He married Helen Geringer on December 17, 1954, in Raton, New Mexico, and together they raised five children. Over the years, Bob managed several retail stores in Colorado and Wyoming. After fifty-two years of marriage, Helen passed away. Later he met and married Marilyn Sobieski, and together they enjoyed fifteen lovely years.

Bob loved to play dominos and cards (especially Canadian Rummy) with relatives and friends. Many of those family and friends also enjoyed his cooking abilities. He was an avid television watcher and was often seen with the remote control glued to his hand. He enjoyed children and dogs and will be missed by his faithful companion, Cali Jo. Bob was a private pilot and enjoyed traveling. He also loved fishing, hunting, old barns and the beauty and song of cardinals.

Bob is survived by his loving wife: Marilyn; three children: Michael L. Aggson, John H. (Shelley) Aggson, and Shannon (John) Stanko; grandchildren, Nicole (Matt) Bowman, Tiffany (Cody Buzianis) Aggson, Jennifer (Marco) Barela, Jacob (Amy) Aggson, Jessica (Michael) Jones, Caynen (Rebecca) Wills, Nathan (Marissa) Wills, Ali Pryor, Zachary (Amanda) Dodson, Benjamin Dodson, Harlee Rae Aggson, as well as thirteen great-grandchildren.

Bob was preceded in death by his first wife Helen, sons Robert Aggson and Dean Aggson; a very special cousin and friend, Danny Aggson; and brother-in-law, Steve Sobieski.
