Robert J. "Bob" Reisinger, 76, of Hiawatha and formerly of Waterloo, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family, on Monday, October 24, 2022. Bob was born in Waterloo on April 22, 1946, the son of Marvin and Gladys Engel Reisinger. He graduated from Orange High School in 1964 and attended the University of Northern Iowa until joining the United States Navy in 1967. Bob married Jackie Eastman in 1981 and he was blessed with three children.

While in the Navy, Bob served on the heavy cruiser, USS Canberra while in Vietnam. He also served as Administrative Assistant for the Bureau of Naval Personnel in Washington, DC, and was honorably discharged in 1971.

Bob began a lifelong career in Real Estate in 1972. During that career, he owned Stokes-Reisinger Realtors, and served as the President and Executive Vice President of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Board of Realtors, where he retired in 2014.
