Robert A. Holtzman

Robert A. Holtzman of Cedarburg passed away suddenly at his home on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023. He was 76 years old.

He was born Aug. 11, 1947, in Milwaukee, Wis., to the late Harold and Jeannette (Katz) Holtzman.

He was a graduate of Nicolet High School with the Class of 1964.

In 1969, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and dedicated many years to the service. He received two Bronze Star medals.

On July 4, 1978, he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Susan White, in Fox Point, Wis., in his parents’ back yard. They spent more than 45 years together and raised two children.

Robert was an active and proud member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Cedarburg, where he found camaraderie among his fellow veterans. His dedication and service to his country were admirable, embodying the values of patriotism and honor.

Robert’s compassion and selflessness extended beyond his military service, as he was always eager to lend a helping hand to others in need.

He enjoyed working in his yard. He had great pride in his 1987 Ford Mustang and was an avid dog lover to his faithful companion “Kody,” who preceded him in death.

Family camping trips were something that the Holtzman family always looked forward to and created special experiences to treasure for a lifetime.

Robert will be greatly missed by his loving wife Susan (White) Holtzman, his children Samuel (Leah Wisdorf) Holtzman and Sabrina Holtzman and his “granddogger” Ashka, along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

In honor of Robert’s request, a private family service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wounded Warriors Project in Robert’s name at  https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/.
