Robert William “Bob” Hush, age 72 of Altoona, WI passed away suddenly on September 9, 2021 at the Mayo Clinic Health System – Eau Claire. Bob was born July 5, 1949 in Racine, WI to Robert Henry and Faye Martha (Rawley) Hush. Bob attended Catholic grade school and graduated from Racine Park High School in 1967. Shortly after high school, Bob joined the Army and was drafted as a medic based out of Denver, CO and after serving was honorable discharged in 1971. Bob was united in marriage on June 20, 1970 to Barbara Lillian Iverson and was blessed with three sons, Grey, Benjamin (Ben), and Robert (Bobby).

Bob got into cable television installation, working in various locations including Costa Mesa, CA and Iron Mountain, MI. He pursued a degree from Northern Michigan University and graduated in 1978 with a cable television emphasis. Bob and his family made their way to Rice Lake, Wisconsin in 1979 where he made a career for 25 years at WITC as a cable tv/communications instructor until his retirement in 2004.

Bob enjoyed fishing (especially in Canada), vacationing in Cozumel, Mexico, deer camp (and the meat that comes from it), the Green Bay Packers, reading books, midnight snacks, and was quite a story teller.
