Robert L. Janke Jr.
Robert L. Janke Jr. born to Robert and Muriel Janke on June 5, 1941, the first of 4 children, has passed on. He owned Robert's shoes later know as Janke's shoes which he ran with his father for decades, it was a family business, his Mother, siblings, wife and sons also worked there along with many employees throughout the the decades, many who as though they were friends rather than employees.
Bob (Bobby to his family) (Fred to his hunting buddies) was in the first class to graduate from Jefferson high school in 1959. He joined the U.S. Air Force and served in Turkey as a radio operator. He married his wife Judy on October 13, 1965. Bob loved cars, he loved stock car racing, and was on the pit crew on #68 Les Chermak's car. He was an avid duck and goose hunter and made many life long friends hunting. Another passion was garage sales most people that have been at or had a garage sale within 100 miles of Alexandria have probably run across Bob, and many will miss his annual garage sale, many people returned every year.
Bob's Father, Mother and Daughter Sara, died before him, he will be greatly missed by his wife Judy, his sons Mark and Chris & Chris' wife Jenny, his sister Susan Pease, brother David, and sister Mary Wagner, his 4 grandchildren, (Mark's Family) Autumn and Tanner along with (Chris and Jenny's family) Kylee and Alayna, and 2 great grandsons from Autumn, Landon and Oliver, his faithful sidekick Shadow, and many friends and garage sale enthusiasts.
The family is going to grieve privately, but everyone will be welcome to stop by the last garage sale to pay your respects, watch for the signs. There will be a celebration of his life held at a date to be announced, after friends have returned from wintering.
Memorials should be made to Douglas County Hospice
