Robert G. Roloff

Robert G. Roloff, age 84, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 29, 2026. He was born on January 19, 1942, in Milwaukee, to the late Raymond and Lucille (Schuett) Roloff. Robert dedicated over 40 years of his professional life to Northwestern Mutual Life, where his analytical mind, focus, and strong work ethic earned him the respect of colleagues and friends alike.

Beyond his career, Robert had a deep passion for baseball and for mentoring young people. He generously gave his time as a coach at Marquette High School and Greenfield Little League, and he coached the youth baseball program “6Tool.” He also played an important role in organizing logistics and scheduling for Milwaukee Catholic School basketball teams. Through these efforts, he positively impacted countless young athletes and families.

Robert will be remembered as a man who loved working with numbers, and who approached life with dedication, precision, and care. He was passionate about sports and was an avid Brewers fan. Above all, he was family-oriented, hardworking, and deeply committed to those he loved.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Kay; his children, Robert Roloff, Elizabeth (Martin) Taylor, Ann Zakszewski (Matt Tenley), and David Roloff; and his cherished grandchildren, Nathanial, Genevieve, Grace (Charlie), Anthony, Benjamin, Jonah, and Lilly. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

He was preceded in death by his siblings, Maryanne (Ron), Claire (Scott), and Richard.
