Robert Betzig

Mr. Betzig was a major contributor to my my career and livelihood starting way back when our company first started doing engineering work for Ann Arbor Machine in the 90's. We did work for AAM regularly until 2002 when our company closed due to economic issues. Mr. Betzig immediately offered me an engineering position at AAM and told me to bring my six best people with me. From that time forward I got to know him better and got to see what a fine man he was. AAM was a place where many people...

While I never met Mr. Betzig, I clearly recall my father, Clemens A. Kruse, Jr. speaking highly and warmly of "Bob Betzig" through their connection at R&B. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Dad's "by his bootstraps" life story and incredible work ethic taught me that nothing is impossible with the right attitude. His compassion for his family and employees was boundless.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you, Susan, and your family, at this time of loss. We remember remodeling your basement on Timberwood, many years ago when you lived in Ann Arbor, and we found you both to be the most pleasant people to work for, and we remember you these many years later. May God grant you His peace and comfort.

He was always mr betzig to me. He hired me at r&b in 1981. Mr betzig was a smart man and very professional. Sorry to see he is gone. Dale mieras.

My dad was an incredible person. He showed me unconditional love & the importance of family. He taught me to be an optimist even when it’s hard, and he taught me to bet on myself. I’ve been remembering our Sunday canoe trips (where he did the paddling while I watched for fish), our weekend trips to sports tournaments (and dinners after where he would order dessert “for my daughter” but then ask for 2 spoons), & our wild adventures that always started out with him saying, “let’s go for a walk”...

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves memories no one can steal.

This is very sad news for me Robert Wilton. Respective always Mr. Betzig to me. Looking back. Perhaps Coach Betzig may have been appropriate enough for Bob. He was easy to talk to. I am so thankful to have been employed at Ann Arbor Machine. Mr. Betzig put food on my family's table for 17 years. Also up to another 320 men and women and their families. Perhaps many more. Mr. Betzig was a Rock. We all depended on him. I remember a story about him. He had wished that he had started his own...
