Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to learn of the passing of Robert. I remember the good times many years ago sailing on Reeds Lake. Again, sorry for your loss.

Bob was one of the most remarkable people I have ever known, possessing streaks genius seldom seen in others. It was such an honor for me to be part of the choir that he directed at Congregation Ahavas Israel many years ago. His skillful interpretation of the music certainly made our group strive to be their best! In the years that followed, I marveled at his passion to follow his heart in all of his many endeavors. I will truly miss him.

I can not listen to a Beethoven Symphony without thinking about or thanking Bob Wepman. You taught me to really LOVE music, not just listen. You will be missed.

My sympathy is extended to the Wepman family, especially to Anne and Barb. What a wonderful family to have as next door neighbors, and to see Bob grow as a musical artist, doing his work with the Grand Rapids Symphony.
