Robert Frederick Boock was born in Spencer, Wis., on June 10, 1917, to Oscar M. and Cora M. (Gustman) Boock. His family moved to Waterloo, Wis., where he graduated from High School in 1934. In 1939, he received his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Following medical school, he performed his internship at Louisville General Hospital in Louisville, Ky., where he met and married Dorothy May Chatfield. Dr. Boock served in the U.S. Army (Medical Corps) from 1942 to 1945. There, in the South Pacific theater, Captain Boock was a battalion surgeon with the 31st (Dixie) Division, receiving a bronze star while performing his duties on Borneo, New Guinea and the Philippines. He then returned to Louisville for his residency in surgery. In 1949, he and his family moved to Beaver Dam where he established his practice in general surgery. For many years, he was the only Board Certified surgeon in Dodge County. Dr. Boock was a member and served as President of the Dodge County Medical Society. He was a member of the Wisconsin State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, Wisconsin State Surgical Society, American College of Surgeons and was certified by the American Board of Surgery. In 1986, after practicing for 37 years, he retired from the work he loved. Dr. Boock is remembered warmly by his friends, colleagues and hundreds of patients who still recall his compassion, wisdom and kindness.
His wife, Dorothy, preceded him in death in 2003, after almost 61 years of marriage. He is also predeceased by his parents, one son-in-law, a brother-in-law and sister-in-law. He is survived by five children and two grandchildren, Barbara (Tom) Kelly, Green Bay; Patricia Boock, Milwaukee; Margaret Boock, Savannah, Ga.; Robert F. (Rafat) Boock Jr. and their daughter Kaylyn, Stafford, Va.; Susan (Dan, deceased) Ketelsen and their children Kyle, Sam, Sarah and Stephen, Lodi; brother, Oscar (Amy) Boock, Worthington, Ohio; sister, Marguerite (Bob) Allen, Milwaukee; four nieces, two nephews, other relatives and friends.
Dr. Boock was a faithful member of St. Stephen's Lutheran Church. Over the years, he took part in various community activities and organizations, and he always enjoyed being Team Physician for the High School football games. He had many interests. He loved music, was an avid reader, enjoyed photography, history and sports, especially golf, the Wisconsin Badger football games, and the Packers. He loved family gatherings and enjoyed spending time at the family villa on Hilton Head Island, S.C. He will be remembered, among other things, for his wry sense of humor and his philosophical outlook. He was a wonderful father, who, by his example, inspired our beliefs and values and our strong religious faith. AND ... he was lots of fun!!! We all miss him very much!
