Condolence From Phil von Weymarn

I had met Bob through my father, who used to run a wine estate in Germany and would travel to the US occasionally for promotion tours. Bob had been to Germany repeatedly, and had impressed me (as a youngster in the 80s) with his cheerful yet unobtrusive friendly attitude and keen interest in everything he would see around him. In 1987 my father and I visited Wisconsin and Bob had basically organized our entire stay in the state. We would organize wine tastings together, and I remember sitting next to him at the "Fox & Hounds". I could not say that I knew him, but I still remember him to this day.

I worked with Bob at Discount Liquor for a few years and liked him tremendously. I helped him out when he needed it and thought he was a kind generous man. An example of this was every Sunday he would bring in hot ham and rolls and never asked for a dime, he just wanted to make sure you had enough. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Bob was a better person because of it. Rest in peace my friend.

Bob was a wonderful man to work with and taught me to appreciate wine. I enjoyed working with him at wine tastings and in retail sales. He shared his expert knowledge with everyone--a true teacher. He was encouraging and upbeat. He made our world a better place. I'm sorry to hear of Bob's passing and my prayers are with his family.

Bob was a dear friend and I will miss him. Bob was truly a kind, humble gentleman and a consumate professional. I thank the Lord that HE put Bob in my life. Having friends like Bob makes life more enjoyable. I, and the rest of the Milwaukee German Wine Society, express of sympathies to Phyllis, Mary and the rest of Bob's family.
