Robert L. "Bob" Muehlhauser, age 82 of St. Jacob, IL, formerly of Collinsville, born September 8, 1937 in Dyans, WY, passed away on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at his residence surrounded by family.

Bob was a 1955 Collinsville High School graduate.  He was the retired owner/operator of All Types Insurance Agency in Collinsville.  At one time he coached softball and was a loyal fan and scorekeeper for Collinsville Kahok Basketball.  He enjoyed playing golf.   Bob was quite the jokester and storyteller.  He never passed up an opportunity to share a story or tell a joke.  His family was his pride and joy.  He loved them dearly, as they did him, and he will be greatly missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter "Salty" and Elizabeth (nee Henderson) Muehlhauser; a daughter, Cyndi Schmacker; two brothers:  William and James Muehlhauser; and a great-grandchild.

(nee Pace) Muehlhauser, whom he married February 14, 1981; four sons: James (Sharon) Muehlhauser of Arnold, MO and their three children, and their three grandchildren; James Leezy of Fairview Heights, IL and his two children and his four grandchildren; David (Nancy) Leezy of Collinsville, IL and his four children, and his six grandchildren; Mark (Donna) Leezy of Maryville, IL, and their five children and their four grandchildren; a son-in-law, Scott Schmacker and his two children; numerous nieces and nephews.
