Robert Glen "Bob" Ziemer

Robert "Bob" Glen Ziemer Our Bob passed peacefully on May 7, 2025, at the J.A. Wedum Hospice House in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, after a brief illness. Bob was born on July 7, 1957, to Charles and Inez Ziemer, in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, a day the temperature roared to 107 degrees. Bob's younger years were spent first in Dakota, Minnesota, and then Goodview, Minnesota. In 1967, he would move with his family to Sioux City, Iowa and remain there until 1975 when the family moved to Eagan, Minnesota. While living in Sioux City Bob would come back to Dakota to spend his summers with his "Special grandpa Beach". While in Sioux City, he started working at Les's Service Station and gained the ability to repair cars with a keen skill of determining mechanical problems by sound. After returning to Eagan, he worked for some time with the welding department on the Milwaukee Railroad. He returned to his love of car mechanics for his remaining adult years, working first at the Standard Station of Mendota Height and then at the Standard Service Station in Eagan. All of Bob adult life would be spent living in the Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul area. In 2020 he would move to Thompson Height of South St. Paul enjoying the life of the retirement community. In the summer you could find him riding his electric bike on any day that allowed him to be out enjoying nature, some days going up to 60 miles on the trails around South St. Paul.
