Robert Wetzig Obituary

He was a very nice man and a dear friend of mine. He is very missed.

04:50am one year ago you left us. So many family and friends became very sad. You are still alive in my heart and will be forever. I really miss you, my twin brother. Love, Bill

Tomorrow I lost my best friend and twin brother Bob. You are so missed here by everyone who knew you. Love you, Bill

Always thinking of you my twin brother. How we would call each other a talk about things. You were a fantastic performer and I'm sure you are wowing them in heaven. Love you forever, Bill

I miss my twin brother Bob so much. Can't believe it is about a year since you past. I will forever remember our life together. We shared a special bond. You are in my heart and sole always. Love Bill

I just found out this June 2022, that Bob has passed. Now I understand why he has not responded to any of my text messages over the past year. I performed at my 50th Birthday in Vegas. He's the best Elvis tribute artist and I will miss him dearly. Kim please get in contact with me (via my email) so that I can offer assistance with anything, even now.

Kim, Mark & I have broken hearts for your loss. I told Mark this morning there is a hole in my heart. We have not lost just a friend but a loved member of our family. We last spoke to Bob on the phone on our wedding anniversary in Sept. We also spoke to him online a couple of weeks ago. If you need anything please contact us. I believe Bob had our #s in his phone. If not, we are on facebook.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I'll remember the fun times we had hanging out with our high school friends, Mark Thompson, Rick Robuck, many others.

Dearest Kim and family. I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Bob. He was a great person. Wonderful personality fantastic singer and Entertainer and a wonderful husband and father and I'm very proud to have met him and knowing both of you for so many years. Even though he's gone he will always still be with you always in your thoughts and in the things that are going on in your life with the children he will be there at your side. Anytime you hear an Elvis Presley song it will be Bob any time something goes a little strange at home it will be Bob. The best thing to do is to keep his memory alive don't be afraid to talk about him and the things that he said through life and things that he did it's can still be comforting to keep him always in your heart. He will be missed by many many people.

Bob you will always be remembered as 1 of my best buds. The singing times together are etched in my mind.

My love! I lay here in our bed and all these memories come flooding through my mind! The day I first met you and looked in to those baby blue eyes I knew I found my forever love! November 12 when I looked in your eyes I felt something wasn't going to be right! You seemed so far away! I wanted to hold onto you! But I knew you were tired! I feel so empty! Half of me died with you! I will never be the same! I promised you that I will take care of our babies and grandbabies! One thing I want you to know and I pray you heard me the other day! I have always loved you! And I will love you till I see you again! You are my forever! The day I said I Do! I meant it! I will always be your wife! And I have always been so proud to be your wife! We had scares before and you always came home! I did not want to leave you! I wish I would have told you more how much I love you and that will be my regret forever! Please come to me in my dreams! I wish I would of known! I look at my phone and wish for one more text! I am never letting go!! Love Kimberly your Lucky puppy misses you so much!

Bob we always enjoyed your dynamic shows. We also enjoyed and were so thankful for the performances you did for our back yard parties. You were an amazing person, loving and caring. A great friend. A great man. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace and sing with the angels.

Bob you and I had a special friendship that no one understood. You were the only man in my life who treated me with respect. Your passing came as a shock as I'm sure for everyone who knew you. I will miss your smile and your amazing singing.. Thank you for always being there for me. You maybe gone but will live in my heart forever. P.S. Did Monica welcome you with a smile? Lol

My deepest condolences. Bob you will be truly missed. Sending prayers to your family for strength during this hard time

Bob you walked out of my garage, onto my back patio singing “Love Me Tender” to Mom. Her eyes were the size of grapefruits, her jaw had dropped into the grassshe was so surprised. She loved each and every second of your Birthday performance that day. She said it was the “best birthday I ever had.” We took her to one of your shows at Palos Gardens a month later which she really enjoyed. Mom went home a month later. It is safe to say, she went a bit more happier because of you shows.
We, her children, are forever grateful for the joy you gave her just with a song
Thank you Bob

Bob, You were my first best friend in life since August 4, 1956 at 1:08PM CST, in Chicago, IL. When we were growing up, we were always dressed alike. After a few years, we finally had enough of no one being able to tell us apart, and started dressing differently. Different but the same. You had this fascination with Elvis. We got a record player and you bought a Elvis album. You played it over and over and over... No wonder you knew all the words to his songs when you started performing in 1975. I was paroled from listening to Elvis when I left for the Army :-). In 1975 we selected different paths in life; me I went into the Army and made it a career. You started doing Elvis and working for the City of Palos Hills. For the first time in 19 years, we were actually separated physically. We never lost touch and remained best friends. The twin thing is real! We both sent each other the same birthday present one year; 1962 Pontiac model car. So funny. One time I woke up early and didn't feel right. Turns out at that same time you had a heart attack. We were in different states but I felt your pain. I enjoyed spending our birthdays together in the last so many years. I would fly you down to celebrate with me. We had so much fun. I inducted you into the Prestigious 82nd Airborne Division Association due to your patriotism and taking up veterans causes. I was always proud of you. You were always there for me and my career. I enjoyed going to your Elvis performances-great shows! We were together in life for 65 years. On November 12, 2021 you left me and my twin status had changed. I will no longer look at our birthday the same. When you passed, a part of me passed too. I love and miss you terribly. I am now alone in this world without my twin brother, but you remain in my heart forever. Some day I will see you again. Love, your older twin brother by 3 minutes, Bill

He was an amazing father. I miss him so much to this day, from his smile to his jokes and his energy. I love you so much, Dad. You aren’t hurting anymore and that’s what’s important. Fly high and sing amongst the clouds to your hearts content. I’ll always be your Billy-Boy. Rest In Peace

Will always miss the fun shows. My grandkids loved the songs you sang to them at Duke's Drive In. You were always making other people happy. May you rest in peace.

“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee.” Godspeed, Bob. Thank you for everything. We grew up with your music. Your performance was a staple at our family events. You were the kindest man and always made us laugh! Your angelic voice changed our lives. Your endless jokes brightened our days. How Great Thou Art, Sir. “I’ll Remember You.” We all will ❤. Heaven just got a little roudier!! TCB, friend. We love you. God Bless You Kim and family. ❤❤❤

Bob my oldest friend gone way too soon I will always remember the good times we had and prayers for you and your family God Bless

Dad,

Oh how I wish this was just a really REALLY bad nightmare that I could just wake up from. You were there for my first breath and I was there for your last. Your Baby Squirrel and Sky Puppy miss and love you so much. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you how phenomenal I thought you were more. Thank you for being such an amazing person and touching the lives of SO many people. I just wish you were still here.

Until we meet again, Daddy

I will forever miss you bob. Deepest condolences Kim, Nicole, Stephanie, Angelica, William, and Skylar. Love all you guys and loved your dad.

My Love! My heartbeat! My best friend! What I do to have you here to hold and love. 1993 our love story started! And it will continue for the rest of my days! You gave me the world! You gave me six beautiful children! I will always be so proud to say your My husband! I will remember our last kiss and the last song I heard you sing Wednesday when you were walking your buddy Lucky! That last smile ! Wish I would of known! I love you Robert Wetzig! Your My forever love . Love your wife Kimberly

My deepest sympathies go out to the FAMILY OF BOB WEST. HIS FRIENDSHIP WILL ALWAYS BE A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY IN MY HEART. HIS KINDNESS TO MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND LOUIE FOR ALWAYS HELPING, CARING AND ESPECIALLY BEING THERE DURING TROUBLED TIMES. GOD BLESS YOU AND SING YOUR HEART ♥ OUT IN HEAVEN WITH THE REAL ELVIS.

We will treasure our friendship and miss Bob forever.

Bob, You were born my first and best friend on August 4, 1956 at 1:08PM CST, Chicago, Illinois. We were always together growing up; dressed alike all the time until we finally had enough of people not being able to tell the difference as to who is who. You started early in life with Elvis fascination. We had a phonograph and you got album of Elvis and played it over and over and over... No wonder you knew all the words to his songs by the time you started performing. Of course, I got tired of hearing Elvis played all the time, but I was paroled when I went into the military. :-) In 1975, we both took different paths in life; Me I went into the Army and made it a career. You started performing as Elvis and worked for the City of Palos Hills. For the first time in 19 years, we were actually separated. Sad day for me like it is now. After all the years apart, me in the military and post military living in different states and you working long and hard at your craft as Elvis and still working for City of Palos, we stayed in touch. Never really apart, only physically. You have always been in my life from the first minutes of our life. I treasured your companionship, your humor, your Elvis performances. I enjoyed flying you down to celebrate our birthday together in the last so many years. We always had a good time. That twin thing we had was real! I still can't believe we bought each other the very same 1962 Pontiac model car one year. I was living in another state and when I shipped car to you, and got yours in return for our birthday; that was funny-Same car. I felt your pain at times not knowing what had actually happened to you, but I had an un-easy feeling and sure enough, one time you had a heart attack. I am going to miss you terribly Bob. A part of me died when you left us on November 12th, 2021. Me/Our birthday will never be the same again. I will always be thinking about you and the fun times we had together. We were twins for 65 years and now I am alone. My heart is broken, my first best friend and twin brother, I will always love you. Love, Bill

Bob, you were a very unique and caring person. I couldnt be more proud of the person you were.. I will ALWAYS be there for your family. I will miss your beautiful voice..

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I will forever miss you

How great thou art
Rest in peace Bob

A nicer man does not exist! Not to mention his talent! The music has stopped temporarily in his honor. Tom and I will miss seeing him. To Kim and family, our sincere sympathy.

Great times with Bob

Bob was a great friend. Will always remember the great times we had and great friends we met. You will always be in our heart. Love and miss you. RIP Bob no more pain.❤❤❤

We will remember you, long after this! A special dear childhood , lifetime friend. Our hearts go out to your family may you rest in peace.
Sing now on the highest stage, keep watch over those you left behind. Until we all meet again.
Rob & Kathy Farris
