Robert Francis Ligman

Robert Francis Ligman, 71, of South Haven, passed away Friday, October 29th, 2021 at home with his family by his side.

He was born January 18th, 1950 to Casimir and Mildred (Olszowka) Ligman in Chicago, Illinois. He honorably served his country in Vietnam with the United States Marine Corps. He married Lynn on September 2, 1972, sharing 49 years together. He retired after 46 years as a commercial carpentry contractor.

Robert was an avid gardener and took great pride in his ever-expanding vegetable garden. He stayed a fan of Chicago’s sports teams, especially the White Sox and the Bears. He was a “Foodie” before it was a thing, and had favorite restaurants all across the country. He loved his family and cherished time spent with his wife and kids and found his true calling in spoiling his grandkids. He loved animals and gave a loving home to many cats and four Border Collies.

A larger-than-life figure, “Lucky Bob” often followed the advice to “Go Big or Go Home” and lived his life to the fullest. His practical wisdom and perpetual affability will be missed by all who knew him.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Jerome (Susan) Ligman.

He is survived by his wife, Lynn Ligman of South Haven; children Carrie (Daniel) Bowers of Chicago and Jeremy (Cynthia) Ligman of Kalamazoo; five grandchildren and a brother, Thomas (Cookie) Ligman.

A visitation will be held from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Friday, November 12, 2021 at the Filbrandt Chapel in South Haven. Military Honors will be held at 2:45 PM at the funeral home. Contributions may be made in Robert’s memory to: The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) or We Care Community Resource Center.
