Robert C. Grisé "Bob" passed away unexpectedly on January 13th, 2026 at the age of 82 surrounded by family. Bob was born the first son of Margaret and Lawrence Grisé in Racine, Wisconsin and raised in Union Grove. He married Linda, his college sweetheart, whom he met at UW Whitewater. They have lived in Franklin since 1974, where they raised three lovely daughters. Bob was a master gardener and had a 50+ year career as a WIAA official for basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball.
He is survived by his wife, Linda and their daughters Lorelei Cole (David), Jennifer Girard (Dennis), Margaret Muench and his ten grandchildren. Bob is also survived by his brother William "Bill" Grisé (Monica) and sister Jean Mueller. An outdoor celebration of life will be held this coming summer of 2026 once Bob's beautiful gardens are in full bloom. He wanted to be a donor... we will love you forever Bob.
