Wendland, Robert E. Of Mequon, Wisconsin, Age 82, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 29 surrounded by his family.

Bob’s family was the centerpiece of his rich and beautiful life. His professional career of over forty years in the wholesale drug industry culminated with his retirement as CEO of the F. Dohmen Company. His passion for music was a gift he passed to each of his children and his wit, creativity and optimistic nature will be forever missed. He is now playing his trumpet somewhere over the rainbow.
