In his spare time, Robert enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, golfing and playing cards. He was a die-hard Chicago Bears, Atlanta Braves and Iowa Hawkeyes fan, and watched or listened to every game.
Surviving are his wife, Willeen E. Sass, of Dubuque; two children, Diane Atwood, of Cedar Rapids, and Robert W. (Kristi) Sass, of Dubuque; four grandchildren, Amanda and Angela Atwood and William and Rachel Sass; two sisters, Betty (Art) Savery, of Davenport, and Bonnie Reinerson, of Yuma, Ariz.; a stepbrother, Evertt (Sue) Webb, of Steamboat Rock; a stepfather, Elroy Webb, of Dubuque; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Verona Clark and Mary Anthoney; and three brothers-in-law, Dennis Clark, Paul Anthoney and Ron Reinerson.
Bob's family would like to extend a special thank-you to Finley Hospital third floor, in Dubuque, especially Janet, Sheri, Dawn, Laurie and Joe, and to Dr. Schope and Dr. Brian Moran for the care and concern they showed to Bob and his family.
