Robert L. Beirl, 84, died peacefully surrounded by his family on April 18, 2019. He was born in Luxemburg on August 23, 1934, to George and Dorothy (Stahl) Beirl.
After graduating from Luxemburg High School in 1952, Bob worked at Sturgeon Bay Shipbuilding and then served in the U. S. Army from 1957-1959, completing Basic Combat Training at Fort Hood Texas, and subsequently being stationed in Germany as a Private in the 4th Armored Division. Upon completion of service, Bob returned to Green Bay where he worked at Schreiber Foods for more than 35 until his retirement in 1995.
Bob married Judy Weininger on April 30, 1960. She preceded him in death on December 26, 2017. They raised their family in Green Bay, and throughout their nearly 60 years of marriage they shared many fond moments amongst friends throughout the community. Together, the Beirl family spent many weekends camping and fishing throughout Wisconsin until purchasing a cottage on Boot Lake, which they owned for 40 years.
Bob and Judy were active members of St. Philip Church where Bob often ushered at Sunday morning masses. They shared a joy for traveling and toured the world with St. Philip Tours, which Judy established and managed.
