P
aul Robert "Bob" Wehr, 88, passed away peacefully on October 3, 2025 in Pasadena, MD. He spent the last 3 years living at Brightview Senior Living in Annapolis, MD. Bob spent his early years in Shamokin, PA. After graduating from high school in 1954, he moved to Washington, DC to begin his career at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1962, Bob received permission from J. Edgar Hoover to resign from the FBI and become General Manager for SAMBA (Special Agents Mutual Benefits Association). During that time, he graduated from Benjamin Franklin University with an ABA degree in Accounting. After many successful years, Bob retired from SAMBA in 1990. He began working for the Boy Scouts of America (National Capital Area Council) and retired from BSA after 12 years. Bob's greatest passion was the Boy Scouts of America. He became active as a Scoutmaster for Troop 403 in Bowie, MD when his son Paul became a Scout. When Paul received his Eagle, Bob continued to be an active Scouter for the rest of his life. Through Scouting he learned a new skill in teaching Scouts how to scuba dive, and a new hobby began. Bob completed 100 dives in various locations from the Caribbean to Hawaii. Bob was an active member of the Society of FBI Alumni, Inc. He held many positions with the Society and was a founding member of the Northern Virginia chapter of the Society. Publishing "The Informant" for 4 years was one of his biggest achievements. Retiring to Frederick, MD in 2005, Bob was very active serving on the Worman's Mill Conservancy and the Worman's Mill Civic Association. A few qualities that Bob most admired were common sense, adaptability, empathy, honesty, and volunteering. He was truly a giving and compassionate man, always trying to be kind and helpful to everyone. Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Judith, whom he married on August 24, 1991; his brother, Harry Wehr; his sister, Jeannie Szcepkowski; as well as his sons, Paul H. Wehr and Mark R. Wehr; and his daughter, Barbara Mervine. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Evelyn Gauntlett, Ainsley Mervine, Thomas Golden, Jessie Kohout, Sarah Kirasack, Tyler Golden, Donovan Wehr, and one great-grandson, Caspian Gauntlett. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 15 at 11 AM at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Road Edgewater, MD 21037 with a reception to follow. Memorial contributions may be made in Bob's honor to the Boy Scouts of America National Capital Area Council (online here or via mail to The Marriott Scout Service Center, 9190 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814).
