Robert "Bob" Kuether

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the Kuether family at Bob’s passing. It is a monumental loss to you as well as all his fans here in eastern Wisconsin. Bob was talented musically in diverse areas. He was a leader, businessman, trumpet player as well as a player of many instruments, a vocalist, and especially a talented and skillful arranger. I am in a unique position to recall my memories of Bob as I have been associated with him since 1979 in both the Big Band and the Newtonburg Brass Band as a trumpet and cornet player. There were many memorable gigs with each band and all the dancers certainly enjoyed his choice of music and expert ability in setting the dance tempo. He was a big part of my musical career and I will miss him.

My condolences and prayers go out to Bob's family and friends. I had the pleasure to have performed with Bob's Big Band for about a few years ago prior to my starting my own Big Band and leading the Jan Garber Orchestra. His love for music and professionalism had a very positive and productive influence on me as we shared common goals toward pleasing our followers. My memories will continue of my friendship will continue in the future. May God Bless him Eileen and their family members. Respectfully, Howard Schneider

Bob and his band played for our wedding July 1, 1972 at club 443 in Rapids. Everyone had a wonderful time. God Bless Bob and his family.
