Robert "Bob" Lyle Gustin

Robert Lyle Gustin, 74, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025, at his home in Sebring, Florida.
Born on December 15, 1950, Bob graduated from Case High School in 1969. He began his professional journey at Wolohan Lumber Company, later joining State Construction. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Horizon Retail Construction, from which he retired early to embrace life’s adventures.
Bob shared a loving marriage with his wife, Nancy (Olsen) Gustin. He was a devoted father to Rhonda Parker (Dal) of Leachville, AR; Jennie Fuhrman (Ryan) of Franksville, WI; Bart Bolman (Michelle) of Oswego, IL; Kiann Sohl (Kevin) of Angier, NC; Alison Reilly (Mike) of Cary, NC; and Kati Walters (Kevin) of Brookland, AR. He was also a beloved brother to Jim Gustin (Jean) of Dallas, TX, and stepson-in-law of Marie Olsen of Sebring, FL. Bob was a cherished grandfather to 20 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also remembered fondly by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a wide circle of treasured friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lyle and Elaine Gustin; his brother, Roger Gustin, all of Sturtevant; and his in-laws Vern and Elaine Olsen.

Bob loved life! He was an avid golfer and found joy in fishing, traveling, and photography. A true Wisconsinite at heart, he especially enjoyed cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers.

Visitation will be held on Friday, October 10, at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home from 5-7pm with a service following at 7pm. A private graveside service for the family will be held at West Lawn Cemetery on Saturday, October 11, at 11am.
