Memoriam
From Page 14
to service and principled
leadership.
He counted the late Joseph
Cardinal Bernardin
among his close friends.
His gift for language
gave voice to both strong
sentiment and a deep
spirituality, and he filled
countless notebooks with
poems that expressed his
knowledge of God’s love,
his devotion to Mary, the
mother of Jesus, and the
great love he shared with
Sheila.
Hulseman was “a man
of great spiritual depth,”
Fr. Donald Senior said,
president emeritus and
chancellor of CTU. “He
and Sheila were exceptionally
generous to Catholic
Theological Union
and so many other charities.”
“Bob” to his friends and
“Papa” to his grandchildren,
he was known for
his sense of humor, which
manifested in many a bad
joke, great wit and his ability
to spin a partner on the
dance floor. He had a gift
for music, which he inherited
from his mother, and
his family and friends remember
fondly the times
he sat down at the piano to
entertain. As a young man,
he had his father’s talent
for polo, and throughout
his life he was a competitive
tennis player.
“He was always incredibly
kind, funny and
smart,” said Scott Zeller,
who worked closely with
Hulseman as his personal
trainer from 2002 to 2013.
“He had a great love for
his family, his friends and
his relationship with his
church.”
Hulseman is survived
by nine children: Robert
(Betty), Richard (Kelly),
Paul (Patrice), Margaret
Kovach (Joseph), Joseph
(Frances), Thomas (Esteban
Diaz), Lawrence
(Amanda), Patricia (Brian
Abrams) and William; 29
grandchildren: Liam Hulseman;
Zachary Lucas;
Colin, Patrick, Conor,
Michael, Sean, Molly,
Brendan, Brian, Kathleen,
Devitt, Delia, Emmett and
Aidan Hulseman; Kaitlin,
Elizabeth (Ryan Duggan),
Greta and Joseph Kovach;
Kathryn, Anna, Clare
and Sheila Hulseman;
David and Sarah Kloos;
Lawrence and Charles
Hulseman; and Erin and
Michaela Abrams. He is
also survived by a brother,
John Hulseman (the
late Georgia), brother-inlaw
of Eileen Samuelson
(Alan) and Judith Murphy,
OSB, of Chicago; and was
an uncle to 11 nieces and
nephews. He was predeceased
by his wife, Sheila
Murphy Hulseman, and
a daughter, Jean Kloos
(Robert).
Marilyn Bleck
Marilyn J. Bleck, 83,
a 49-year resident of

Marilyn was the beloved
wife of 63 years of John
H. Bleck; the cherished
mother of Terri, Donna
(Thom Beeson), Patrick
(Diane), Jeanne, Michael
(Corry), Bill, Jack
(Carol), Kelly (Paul Burgener),
Tim and Lindy;
the fond grandmother of
22; the loved great-grand
mother of three; the special
sister to Georgia
“Dodie” (the late Wally)
Dretske; and the daughter
of the late George and
Pearl Teeling. All services
