Robert "Bob" Weiss

Weiss, Robert "Bob" Age 85. Bob was a former Eaton Corp (Cutler Hammer) employee. Bob was married to Kate (nee Haideman) for 40 years, and has 2 children, Robert (Bob) Weiss who owns Shakers in Milwaukee, and Cathy Bellehumeur (wife of Victor Bellehumeur), an attorney practicing healthcare law in Memphis, TN. He has four grandchildren, Katie, Jonathan, Nathan and Kirsten. Our Dad loved reading mysteries, puttering around the house and gardening. He was the youngest of 8 children and grew up in Milwaukee. He enjoyed going fishing at Pewaukee Lake with his brother Elmer and taking us for drives in what was then the "country". We will remember him for taking us on endless rides in the country, and teaching us to yell "moo-bossie" out of the car window when we passed a cow in a field. He used to sprinkle the lawn at night in order to catch night crawlers to use as bait, and cleaned walleyed pike in the basement sink. He was an ardent fan of Rex Stout and Raymond Chandler books, enjoyed Hercule Poirot movies and the Green Bay Packers, loved Frank Sinatra and the Ink Spots, and crooned along to "When I Wish Upon a Star". An American Vet, he was deeply patriotic, and we will remember him for blaring John Phillips Sousa marches from the front porch on the 4th of July. A Memorial Service will be held Friday, November 22, 2013 at Shakers (422 S. 2nd St). A meet and greet will begin at 2:00 PM with apps and wine, followed by a non-traditional service at 3:00 PM. A New Orleans style funeral procession will march down 2nd Street at 4:00 PM with a marching band, followed by a full-blown music soiree at Shakers throughout the evening.
