Robert Meyer

Robert “Bob” Elwin Meyer, age 93 of Waltham, Minnesota, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 26, 2019 at Mayo Clinic Hospital Rochester, Saint Marys Campus. Robert was born December 4, 1926, to Arnold and Elenora (Wuertz) Meyer in Waltham, MN. Bob was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Waltham. He attended parochial school for 8 years and graduated from Austin High School in 1944. On June 29, 1946, he was united in marriage to Florence Muller. Together they resided on the family farm near Waltham for 69 years where they raised four children. Bob enjoyed farming his entire life, but his family was what he truly lived for. He was the one his family turned to in good times and bad, and he remained in that role until his dying day. He enjoyed fishing, watching sports and traveling with Florence whenever possible. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and great grandchildren, always ready to talk and provide a cookie or two. In his later years, spending time with his many coffee buddies gave him great joy. Bob was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church. He served on the parochial school board and the church council for many years and especially enjoyed working with others on many building improvement projects. He also was very active in his community, serving on the boards of the Hayfield Nursing Home, the Hayfield Lumber Company and the Brownsdale Coop Elevator for many years.
