WEEPERS, Robert
(Bob, Weeps)
Born on December 9, 1940. Passed away peacefully on July 6, 2010. Loving son of Gertrude (Ada) and the late Thomas Weepers (1993). A victim of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Bob was a lifelong resident of Windsor, a graduate of the University of Windsor, and an avid follower and participant of sports. During his youth, he played on many championship basketball and baseball teams. During Bob's 31 years as Intercollegiate Co-ordinator of Athletics, he oversaw all of St. Clair College's varsity programs as well as coaching the Women's Basketball team for six seasons, earning two silver and two bronze OCAA medals. Bob had a quiet demeanor and was a gentle man who never craved the spotlight, but meticulously guided the varsity programs at St Clair College. When Bob neared retirement, the St. Clair College Athletic Department began awarding the "Bob Weepers Fair Play and Sportsmanship" award for varsity athletes who truly represent Bob's integrity and ethics. During his retirement, Bob became a member of the Board of Directors of the Windsor-Essex County Sports Hall of Fame to which he contributed his vast sports knowledge and expertise. He compiled and oversaw the production of the book "We are the Champions" which profiles all the Canadian Championship Sports Teams that Windsor has produced. He was inducted into the OCAA Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. A special thank you to the caring people at Devonshire Seniors Residence, Heron Terrace (The Meadows) and the friends who visited him faithfully. At Bob's request there will be no visitation or service. Memorial tributes to the Alzheimer' Society or Charity of your Choice would be appreciated by the family. "Rest in Peace, Bob".
