Robert
R. “Bob” Carbone, 81, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully Monday, April
28, 2014.
Born November 3,
1932, in Kenosha, he was the son the late Frank A. and Rose Marie
(Gallo) Carbone. Bob was a lifelong resident of Kenosha, attending local
schools and was a graduate of Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, IL.
On November 6, 1953,
he entered the United States Army serving in the Far East and Japan
until his honorable discharge in 1955. He received the National Defense
Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal, Korea Service Ribbon and
the Good Conduct Medal.
On May 2, 1953, at
St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, he married his junior high sweetheart,
June H. Modory. She preceded him in death on June 29, 2012.
From 1957 until
1983, Bob was a coach, teacher, vice-principal and principal of St.
Joseph High School. He then worked at Great Lakes Naval Base from 1983
until his retirement in 1997 as an Education Administrator and in 1990
he was declared US MEPCOM Employee of the year.
Bob was a member of
St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, St. Anthony’s Parish Council, a lifetime
member of WIAA Coaches Association and a member of Kappa Sigma
fraternity at Lake Forest College. Bob served 19 years as a Kenosha
County Supervisor for the 9th district. Bob was active and associated
with many Civic, Education and Athletic Organizations and for which he
received many accolades for his dedicated service over the years (too
many to list). But, his main focus in life was God, Family, Country and
the relationships he formed through coaching and local politics. Bob
lived by the creed “A man should not be judged by the money he amasses,
or the job he attains, but rather by what he has done to make life
better for his fellow man.”
Bob is survived
by his three children: Kristina (John) Rudolph of Duluth, MN; Laurence
“Larry” (Stacie) Carbone of Dublin, OH; Karin (Peter) McCarville of
Kenosha; his seven grandchildren, Joshua (Laura), Kaitlyn & Veronica
Rudolph, Alexa & Paxson Carbone, Maximilian McCarville and a
great-grandchild due in June. Bob is also survived by his brother, Frank
M. (JoAnn) Carbone and sister, Jean C. Carbone both of Kenosha and many
special nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in
death by his parents and his wife June.
The family would
like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Rosanna Ranieri and St.
Catherine’s Hospital Dialysis staff for their care and compassion, as
well as the staff of Brookside Care Center and Hospice Alliance.
