Robert Glenn Droske

Robert “Bob” Droske, 82, of Rosenberg, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on February 15, 2023 at home while working in his shop on one of his “many” projects. He was born on October 29, 1940 in Houston, Texas to Otto and Lucille (Kitzman) Droske. He was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church both in Houston. After graduating from Reagan High School in 1959, he married his “Sargent” sweetheart, Jeanette Burton on November 12, 1960. He moved his family to Rosenberg in 1966. He worked for Texas Instruments for many years as a machinist before he started Droske Machine Works where he worked until he retired. There was nothing Bob could not machine or make something a little bit better by reinventing it. He was a long-time member of Peace Lutheran Church where he served in many leadership roles such as Sunday school teacher, on the church council, and on the call committee. His greatest joy besides being a loving husband and father was being PawPaw to his grandchildren. His love of fishing was something that he bestowed on all of his family and friends. He taught all his daughters, grandkids and anyone who wanted to learn how to fish. The house that “Bob” built in Sargent on Caney Creek was where family and friends were always welcome and often gathered which led to many big fish stories, fish fries, and crab boils. Bob was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Charles Droske. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 62 years, Jeanette; daughters Carol Sullivan and husband Jeff of Anderson, Diane Jenkins and husband Jerry of Pinehurst and Cheryl Thumann and husband David of Rosenberg; grandchildren Trey Thumann, Jace and Jacob Jenkins, and Claye Sullivan. Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 8:00 pm Monday, February 20, 2023 in the Chapel of Davis-Greenlawn Funeral Home in Rosenberg. The funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Tuesday February 21, 2023 at Peace Lutheran Church in Rosenberg with burial to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Rosenberg. Proudly serving as pallbearers are his son-in-laws and grandsons. Honorary pallbearer will be Bob’s granddaughter, Claye.
