Bob was born Feb. 22, 1927.

At Princeton he was a member of Prospect Club and graduated with high honors in civil engineering.

Our 50th-reunion yearbook states that the family home was in Pine Bluff, Ark. His wife, Sue, died in 1999. He is survived by sons William and John, daughter Candace, grandson Alex, and sister Nancy. Bob had a long career with the paper company Rayonier, “with assignments in three of the four corners of the United States, and in Canada and Africa.”

The Weavers founded Fiber Resources, to clean and recycle paper-mill waste for manufacture of wood pellets for fuel, as well as material for cat litter boxes and as oil absorbents.

Bob died April 23, 2019, at home in Pine Bluff.
