A graveside memorial service for Robert (Bob) J Wishon will be held Feb. 19, 2024 at 2 pm, at the Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, Wa. Bob passed peacefully Jan. 21 at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue
Our father was born May 1, l933 in Seattle, the son of Clara and Eugene Wishon. Bob was a very happy go lucky kind of guy and used his quick wit and humor whenever you met him. He graduated from Queen Anne High School. During his childhood his younger brother, friends and him would scout out the empty lots to make and play baseball or build forts. After graduation he was married and had four daughters, he took classes and tests to get his job at Seattle City Light as an appliance repairman eventually working up to crew supervisor this is where he retired.
Bob is preceded in death by his parents and second wife Elsie.
His survivors include his younger brother Richard Wishon of Lynnwood, daughters Terry Voss of Mount Vernon, Susan and (Dave) Gillman of Kirkland, Patricia and (Clell) Mason, and Julie Wishon of Sequim. He adored having a household of girls. Our father also had eight grandchildren and five great grandchildren. He relished the stories shared with him about their doings in school and sports or life in general. He never ever forgot anyones birthday or christmas time there would be a hallmark card of which he kept track of on his calendar.
The family cannot begin to thank the wonderful most caring treatment our father received while he was an inpatient at Overlake Hospital this past month. And also the staff and residence at the Madison House in Kirkland of which he had been living since his beloved Elsie had passed in 2016.
They truly made it a home for him and he enjoyed his interactions with the nurses, director, and housekeepers everyone there, thank you. He will be truly missed by all.
