Bob is survived by his wife, Sara Hawbaker Wiemerslage ‘81; two sons, Clay (Lindsey) Wiemerslage of Macomb, Ill., and Ben (Molly) Wiemerslage of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; a grandson, Asher; his father, Lester Wiemerslage of Decorah; a sister, Jane Wiemerslage ‘83 of Apple Valley, Minn.; father and mother in law, Gary and Sandra Hawbaker of Boise, Idaho; and his beloved dog, Luther.

Bob was preceded in death by his mother Dorothy.

Bob was born Aug. 31, 1957, in La Crosse, Wis., the son of Lester and Dorothy Kerndt Wiemerslage. He graduated from Decorah High School in 1975 and from Luther College in 1979 with a B.A. in Accounting. Bob married Sara Hawbaker Wiemerslage ’81 on Aug. 11, 1979 in Charles City. He was an Accountant for Eastern Iowa Light and Power Company.

Bob enjoyed woodworking in his shop, gardening and yardwork. He was active in Cedar Rapids Youth Hockey, and most of all spending time with his family, neighbors and friends. Bob will be remembered for his generosity and humor. Whether it was family or friend in need, Bob would drop whatever he was doing and be there to lend a hand. Bob would be the first person to offer words of wisdom.

If you ever had a question, you could “just ask Bob,” however you weren’t always sure if he was pulling your leg or not.

Bob also loved to fish, even if he spent more time untangling knots, retrieving his lure from a tree or snagging his own hat.

Bob enjoyed watching college football and lived in a Hawkeye/Cyclone divided house.

Memorials may be directed to the family to be used for Bob’s favorite charities.
