Robert J. Grote, 81, of Sheboygan, passed away on Friday, June 11, 2021 at Sheboygan Senior Communty. He was born on March 11, 1940 to the late Alfred and Helen (Sabatich) Grote. He graduated from Sheboygan Central High School and continued his education at UW-Stevens Point. He was the manager of the football and baseball team while he was there. Robert was a lab manager at Muth Industries where he worked for many years. He enjoyed woodworking and was an avid reader, but his favorite thing to do was meet up with friends at the Weather Center Café to have a great cup of coffee. He traveled with his brother, Alfred, and they often took road trips out west. He enjoyed listening to music on the radio and he had a special place in his heart for his great niece, whom he had many fun conversations with.
Robert is survived by his brother, Steve Grote; nephews, Ryan (Sara) Grote, Christopher (Irina) Grote of Germany; great-nieces and nephews, Quinn Grote, Sophia Grote and Nicholas Grote.
He was preceded in death by his brother Alfred, sister-in-law Joan and his parents.
