We are saddened by the news of Bob's passing. I(Maria) got to know his kindness and good humor serving together on the Conway Foundation. He had a compassion for others that endeared him to all of those that where fortunate to meet him. I(Bob) enjoyed some memorable rounds of golf with Bob. He will be missed.

We are sad to learn about Bob's passing. We knew him through his support of Apple Tree Theatre to be a generous, smart, upbeat gentleman with a big smile. Reading about his many accomplishments and interesting life has given us even more appreciation for his well lived life.
Sue and family, please accept our sincere condolences. We share in your loss.

We are so saddened to learn of Bob’s passing. He was a charming guy who did such good work. We kept crossing paths in such wonderful places. Bob was always warm & engaging. He & Sue have been such a team in helping & supporting others.
Our love & condolences go out to his family. He will be so missed.

So very sorry to hear this. I was blessed to have my path cross with Bob’s while at SPS. This was a special time as the company was small when getting started (less than 100 employees). It was a family and we flourished and under Bob’s leadership!! Many fond memories!! Praying for the Wieseneck family during this difficult time
