Weltner, Jr., and his significant other, Wendy (Holtzman) Hobson; his cherished grandchildren, Robert "Bobby" E. Weltner, III, and his wife Erica, and Dalton M. Weltner and his partner Brooke Davis; and his great-grandchild, Emersyn Weltner. Bob was preceded in death by his loving parents, William Ernest Weltner and Lillian Eney.
