He was born on March 17, 1955, the son of the late Robert Sr. and Shirley (Kaiser) Denslow.

Bird had many hobbies, including the great outdoors, gardening, hunting, fishing, camping, and volunteering. He and his family enjoyed camping in Wisconsin’s Northwoods in his younger years.. Bird thanks all of those who have provided a helping hand throughout some tough times. He is survived by his brother Scott (Chris) Denslow, special cousins, along with other relatives and friends.

Bob (Bird) and I were neighbors in our “formative” years (60’s to early 1970’s). We, along with Scott and a handful of other friends, shared many “adventurous” times together. His dad and my dad also grew up together in their time and both “fed into” some of the activities we all were a part of. Although I am saddened by Bird’s departure from this life, I can’t help but smile about the good times we shared. My heartfelt gratitude and condolences to Scott and the rest of the family during this time of loss and rememberence.
