MADISON - Robert James “Bob” Kok, age 80, of Madison, Wis., passed away on Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. Bob was born on July 16, 1943, to Henry and Bessie Kok in Randolph Wis. He always felt blessed that he was born into a Christian family on a traditional 1940s dairy farm. Later he bought the farm and returned many acres back to its natural land for wildlife refuge. The family spent many hours riding the trails and fishing in the pond. His entire career was spent in the IT industry, retiring in 2010.
 

Bob is survived by his sons, Dan, Jeff (Carol), Jim (Kristine), Matthew Kok and Jason (Sara) Koenig; grandchildren, Spencer, Seth, Molly, Mikey, Adam, Sam, Anna, Tanner and Roger; and great-grandchildren, Henry and Henry. He was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn (1984) and wife, Pat (2023); brother, Sy; and his parents.

I worked with Bob at Anchor Savings and loan for 10 ten years. It was the beginning of my career and I thank him for his leadership and friendship for so many years. We continued our relationship for many years but not as often. It is with great sadness that I express my condolences to Bob's Family. The world lost a good man On January 5, 2004 and I will be forever grateful to know Bob. Red Everson

My condolences to Bob’s family and friends. We would often visit and chat about the stock market, the Bucks and Badgers, and he was always willing to share gardening advice. He was so fond of the family farm and made trips there whenever he could. Both he and my sister Pat were kind and loving, so proud of their children and grandchildren. They are missed but remain in our thoughts. ❤️ Suzanne La Fond
