Robert Edward Domine was born on May 20, 1942, in West Allis, to Manuial and
Helen (nee Strey) Domine. He was raised in Loyal and attended St. Anthony
Catholic School and Loyal High School. He joined the Navy in January 1960
and was honorably discharged in May 1963. During the Vietnam War, he served
on the USS Independence (CVA 62) overseas. He moved to Oak Creek and worked
at Edgerton Construction as a heavy equipment mechanic until his retirement,
when he moved back to Loyal. Robert enjoyed spending time with his family,
especially his nieces and nephews, as well as his great-nieces and -nephews.
He was very loving and kind, and always willing to give his undivided
attention to the children. Whether that time was spent reading and
re-reading books, playing cards or board games, doing outdoor activities or
something else together, he always had a smile and good memories were made.
Robert will be missed by his two sisters: Shirley (Allen Fredrickson)
Shefchik of Greenfield, and Barbara Dux of Marshfield; one brother: Ronald
(Shirley) Domine of Marshfield; 13 nieces and nephews: Dennis (Jean)
Shefchik of Lander, Wyo., Kay (Patrick) Dobson of Brown Deer, Carol Seibert
of Trevor, Gary (Katie) Shefchik of Mukwonago, Randy (Shelley) Domine of
Loyal, Mike (Dawn) Domine of Avondale, Ariz., Kevin (Lisa) Domine of Wausau,
Shelby (Todd) Schoonover of Kronenwetter, Brian (Karrie) Domine of Phoenix,
Ariz., Steve (Angie) Domine of Hewitt, Lisa (Nathan) Hanson of Oak Grove,
Minn., Denise (Brian) VanderKooy of Hatley, and Jason (Tiffany) Dux of
Onalaska; and numerous great- and great-great-nieces and -nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a niece, Debbie Shefchik; a nephew,
Dale Shefchik; a great-nephew, Dustin Domine; and a great-niece, Holly
Domine.
Schizophrenia is a very serious mental disorder that affects how a person
thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia interpret reality
abnormally and require lifelong treatment. Once the prescription for his
medication was discontinued and would not be reinstated, Robert’s symptoms
returned. He will always be remembered by his loved ones as the kind-hearted
and loving brother and uncle, who was more than willing to help those in
need, even though he was trapped in bondage with a horrible mental illness.
Thankfully, God intervened with open arms and His tender mercy and spared
Bob from the pain that he did not deserve. He’s now enjoying the Blessed
Life with many other loved ones.
