Robert Patte Obituary

Years later know that his work as a physician is still valued. He set the bar high in my selection of a new podiatrist -- and I went over a decade of not needing an appointment because of Dr. Patte

Kathleen and family, i just heard the very sad news about Bob's passing.
I am in shock and very sad. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that
my prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Our hearts go out to Dr. Patte`s family. I have provided a service to the Patte family for nearly 20 years. They are a great family to work for. And Dr. Patte was such a great guy with a great sense of humor and always had a smile. I take peace in knowing he has returned home. His faith was apparent, his light shone wherever he went. He will be so missed.

Sincerely,
Kathy Kusek

I just learned of the news of Dr. Patte's passing. I was shocked and saddened. He was a wonder doctor. I did not have the need to see him in the past few years. I'm so sorry for your loss and the loss of all of his patients. Our prayers are with each of you.

Our deepest sympathies. Dr. Patte was our doctor for many years. He was always so warm & cheerful--never without a smile or a kind word. One of the things that I liked best was if there was a non-invasive technique, Dr. Patte didn't hesitate to use it. When he did have to do surgery on my husband, all of the nurses asked him who his doctor was. Then they told him that he was so lucky to have Dr. Patte. They all loved him. Dr. Patte will be deeply missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Patte's death. It is a shock! I've been a patient of his since 1993 and I will miss his smiling face, wonderful personality and his sensible approach to podiatry. I know his family will miss him.

We send our deepest sympathy to the Patte family. Dr. Patte has been our family doctor for almost 20 year's and he is a really good guy. Always a smile on his face, and loved sharing family
stories. We will miss him deeply. Our prayers will be with the family.

I just learned today of Dr. Patte's untimely death. My sincere sympathy goes to his wife and family. He will be missed as a wonderful man as well as an exceptional podiatrist.

Kathleen, Michael,Christine and Eric,
Dr.Patte has been our doctor for 3 generations of our family. He is someone I feel I have always known. He was such a genuinely caring and loving person. He so loved his family and shared wonderful stories of family time in St. Thomas, Christine's wedding, etc. His deep faith in God and his love of the Catholic Church were part of who he was! I will miss him in my life! My deepest sympathies to you all and I will pray for him and for you in the weeks and months ahead. May you feel God's loving arms comforting you!

Kathleen, Mike, Chrissy and Eric -- Bob was one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of knowing. No matter what the occasion, be it a family function, or the Elkhorn County Fair, or Music on the Lake in Lake Geneva, or a weekend lunch get together, I always knew I would enjoy myself in Bob's company. He immediately put you at ease and made you feel terrific, and he has set a real positive example for those that remain. Bob will be in our prayers, and I look forward to continued outings like Elkhorn and the Village Squire where we will continue to salute his memory.

I am an old friend of Bob's from the HoJo Days - what a kind and wonderful gentleman he was even in his younger years. I have many memories of his smiling face.
My thoughts are with his family - I know he was a wonderful husband and father.

Dear Kathleen, Michael and Christine,
Bob was a fraternity brother, colleague, partner, Godfather to one of my sons ,and most of all a true friend. I am stunned, saddened, and overwhelmed at my loss. But, compared to yours words fail me. In life, he was a great guy and super doctor, with his untimely passing he leaves a great void incapable of being filled. On behalf of myself, and all of the Rybczynski extended family: our deepest and heartfelt sympathy. Take care old friend.
Love, Jack

Wishing I could find the right words to express our sadness over the passing of Dr. Patte. Scott has known him forever and I only recently met him. Both of us were charmed beyond words. I've never met anyone with such a genuine kindness in their soul. He will be missed.

Wishing you whatever it is you need most in this moment.

I worked with Dr. Patte for 23 years in surgery and I am just shocked! What a wonderful, kind man to work with. In the 23 years we worked together we talked about so many things. He was an excellent doctor, one of the kindest physicians I know. My heart goes out to his wife and children who I know he loved very much. You are in my prayers.

Haven't seen him in 35 years, but always thought he was a really good guy. Had some great parties with him back in the early 70's, and word of his death upset me very much. I hope the best for his family at this horrible time.

He was a good friend and neighbor. We love the entire family. He was always upbeat and friendly, not to mention a great doctor. We will miss his sunny outlook on life. We are so very sorry.
Dave and Kathy Harris

I was shocked when I open the paper today. I have not seen Dr. Patte in over a year but then we were joking and laughing. I have been his patient for years. I am so sorry for your loss. He was the best Dr. and will be very difficult to be replaced. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kathleen,Mike, Chrissy and Eric

In the short time we got to know Bob prior to the wedding,we instantly bonded. Dale and I were grateful for the oppurtunity to share such wonderful memories of the wedding and those leading up to the wedding. Chrissy is a wonderful daughter-in-law and we were lucky to get to meet such a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. With our deepest sympathy, Patti and Dale Schmitt
