Robert John “Bob” Grewe, a 51-year resident of Northglenn, died Oct. 17, 2022, at the age of 79. He was born June 29, 1943, in West Point, Nebraska, to William Joseph and Rose Mary (Ortmeier) Grewe.
Bob attended school in rural West Point before the family moved to Lyons, Nebraska, where he grew up helping with the family farm. He joined the Marine Corps in 1964 and proudly served his country in Vietnam while being stationed at Camp Pendleton.

Family was Bob’s top priority and source of happiness. He spent his adult life as a devoted and loving husband, father and grandpa. Bob held various management positions throughout his career after serving his country in the Marine Corps.
He spent many a day coaching his kids’ soccer teams, riding bikes, watching Broncos games with family, and living his faith as a parishioner at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Northglenn and Assumption Catholic Church in Welby. He was an active member of the Knights of Columbus.
