Born April 13, 1968 in Sheboygan, Bob was a son of Herbert and Mary Richter Nowacki. He attended Holy Name School and North High School where he played football and excelled in the WSHS FM radio program.
He had a 20 plus year career as an over the road truck driver covering the states from east to west and received numerous commendations for safety, mileage and instruction.

Other places of residence include Fond du Lac, Yuma, AZ, Wheatridge, CO, Cheyenne, WY, Milwaukee and came back to Sheboygan in 2018. The things he loved in life were attending Brewer games, Rush Concerts and any family gatherings where his sense of humor would be on display. He always wanted to share the beauty he witnessed while on the road.
He is survived by his children, Jake (Kayla Meier) Nowacki, Kayla (Christian) Millan and Joshua (Ayanna) Nowacki; a grandson, Braydon; his parents, Herbert and Mary; his brother David; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; and his special friends, Pete and Sharon.
