Uncle Bob slipped away from us unexpectedly on Monday July 11, 2022. He was born on Sept. 25, 1939. He was 1 of 14 children and the last surviving son of Fern and Carroll Weideman.

He started working at an early age by helping out the nearby farmers in the area. He worked for Stokley's in Peru. He graduated Peru High school in 1958. He was an Army veteran having served in the Korean Conflict. Bob who was known as the "Ole Man" retired from Haynes International after 37 years of service as a sonic inspector.

Bob was a member of the Masonic Lodge in New Waverly, and Walton. He served as Master Mason in 1965. He joined the Eastern Star in Logansport and was a member at Gilead. He was a 50 year member. He previously attended church at Skinner Chapel, Twelve Mile and Hoover Church, Hoover.

He was a man of few words with a compassionate heart. He met the love of his life, Marthagene Richardson. They married, June 25, 1966 at the Oakdale Baptist Church in Peru, Indiana and they did everything together. He loved spending time with family, watching sports, and solving the world's problems on his front porch with a cup of coffee and a slice of chocolate zucchini bread. Bob was a Hoyle master and enjoyed a good game of euchre. He will be remembered by many and missed by more who knew him personally and loved him dearly.

Bob has joined his parents and siblings: June Hight, Warren Weideman, Harry Weideman, Ralph Weideman, Clara Miller, Alice Long, Anna Belle Heltsley, Primrose Weideman, Jane Frye, Jack Weideman, William Weideman, and Esther Hodson as well as Edna Ellen Richardson his second mom.

He is also survived by his sister Martha Love as well as brother and sister in laws: Rod/Nancy Dawson, Jayne/Phil Low, Janice Hull, Michael Richardson, Kay Weideman, Rosalie Weideman and several nieces and nephews who will miss their "Uncle Bob".
