They are the proud parents of Lisa (John) Weithas and Kimberlee (Alan) Lenertz and the devoted grandparents of Emma and Lila Weithas and Alex and Gillian Lenertz. His grandchildren were the light of his life and Bob was a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of all their school and sporting activities.
