| About | Robert C. Hendrickson, 63, of Wautoma, died unexpectedly in Neenah, Thursday afternoon. Robert was born June 18, 1943 to Carl and Helen (Blank) Hendrickson in Neenah, WI. He attended Neenah High School and graduated in 1961. Upon graduation, he joined the Armed Forces and served the US Navy on the USS Yorktown from 1961 to 1965. In 1968, he married the love of his life Sharyn (Crober) Hendrickson. He later attended college and worked for Allis Chalmers (it was later renamed Allis Mineral Systems, Svedala Industries and Metso Corporation) as a mechanical engineer until his retirement in 2004. Robert’s greatest joy was his family. He and his wife were inseparable, and his children and grandchildren were sources of great pride. He will also be remembered as a loyal friend, and as a man who worked hard and honestly all of his life. Robert enjoyed fishing and watching the sun set upon Alpine Lake. He also always looked forward to the times he was able to reunite with his childhood friends in their annual trip to Milwaukee. Robert was a man who did not need to be asked to help. He was always the first not only to volunteer, but to insist that he do whatever necessary to lighten a family member’s or friend’s load. He was the epitome of what a husband, father and friend should be. Robert is loved and will be missed by his wife Sharyn; his daughter, Heidi and Mykle, (who he loved as a son) Reagan; his son, Erik Hendrickson; and his grandchildren, Margaret Rose, Madeline Mae and Maxwell Robert Reagan. Also surviving are his brother, John Hendrickson; his sisters, Carol (Kenneth) Boyle; Kathleen (Richard) Bondow; nieces, nephews and cousins. Preceding him in death are his parents Carl and Helen Hendrickson. |
