He was born on July 5, 1934 in Hammond, IN to his loving parents Henry and Helen M. (Roberts) Siedentopf.
Bob really enjoyed keeping busy. He served in the United States Army and was honorably discharged. His career as a masonry contractor was truly what helped to define him. From his work ethic, to projects, he taught his family that he truly loved what he did. During his time away from work Bob liked to work on his model airplanes. He even was a part of the Calumet Escadrille Airplane Club. His grandchildren were the center of his life and he enjoyed making memories and sharing his gift of creating limericks with them. His family will miss his can do attitude and his love and support for them.
