Robert (Bob) Weber passed away suddenly as the result of a heart attack, surrounded by family at Grand River Hospital on February 20, 2013. Bob was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.

Rotary was his passion and he was a two time Paul Harris Fellow, awarded by Rotary International for outstanding services in both the Oshawa and Kitchener Conestoga Rotary clubs. He accomplished 41 years perfect attendance and 28 years on the board of directors between the two clubs.
