Bob is survived by his son, Jon (Molly) Neuleib; step-son, Arthur J. "Joe" Hoane (Sarah Kimball); and granddaughters: Lily Madden Neuleib and Bailey Neuleib; and longtime friend, Janice Neuleib. He is further survived by cousins, nieces and nephews, friends from Luther Oaks, and many former students. He is preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Laura Neuleib; sister, Pauline Shaw (nee Neuleib); and brother-in-law, Bob, among many other beloved friends, family members; and most importantly, cats.

Mr Neulieb was an outstanding teacher, mentor and coach. His words of wisdom come back to me to this day as I get older. I wish him well in the afterlife hope he knows the impact he had on so many people.

Best teacher I ever had at U-High. Still have fond and vivid memories of him. Instrumental in teaching me and many others how to write well, and in inspiring a love of literature.

Bob was a great man who taught me everything about public speaking and made me the trial lawyer I am today. He is on the top of my list as a favorite teacher! Prayers and love to his family.
