Bob was born in Cook County, IL, on May 10, 1943, son of John Filetti and Mary Sroka Filetti. Shortly after Bob was born, the family moved to Milwaukee. He graduated from Washington High School in Milwaukee with the class of 1961. After high school, Bob honorably served his country with the United States Air Force, stationed in Germany at Ramstein AFB.

Mr. Filetti worked as a lithographer for various printing companies, including Continental Can Co., Inland Press and A to Z Printing. After retiring in 2008, Bob found his second career as a groundskeeper for Silver Spring Golf Course, retiring full-time in 2012 when Bob and Liz decided it was time to move to Florida. Bob was a longtime member of St. Peter of Alcantara Parish in Port Washington. He enjoyed golfing, woodworking and the Green Bay Packers. Bob's true love was his family, especially spending time with his grandchildren.
