In the late 1980’s he started his construction business, In-Home Construction which he ran until his passing. He was very talented and in his words, “I’m self-employed and loving it!”
Bob enjoyed fishing, golfing, and spending time with his family & friends.

So sad to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a gifted man with a kind heart and always ready with a quick smile. Heaven is sure to be a better place with his attendance.
We, too, are in total shock with Bob’s passing. Such a wonderful, talented fellow who never steered you wrong or gave you a bad deal.
There will never be anyone like him. Our condolences to the whole family. I’m sure Bob is now up above sharing his talents with all.
I have had Bob do 2 roofs for me and 2 years ago he built a garage for me. He always treated me fair and did great work. I had got him to rough in my house and he was suppose to start this Wednesday and it was quiet a shock to hear that he had died. May you rest in piece Bob.
Sue and Tim, sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. May God bless your family
Linda .& Family; I am so very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We hired Bob to do work on & around the Condos a few years ago. He was a good guy. Your loving memories will be with you forever. May God Bless & comfort all of you during this very difficult time.

Please know that Bob has been, and will continue to be in our prayers.
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. I had a lot of good memories working with Bob in his construction business, I really enjoyed helping him stain and paint that summer I helped him out. Also enjoyed meeting up with him after work to share a few laughs. So very sorry to hear this, may good memories fill your heart, thinking of you at this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. I knew Bob from grade school and I got to know him again when he moved back to the area, he will be missed by many I’m sure.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Niebauer at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry about Bobby! I know he’s fishing and having fun with Uncle Bob and my dad. It was very weird, a couple weeks ago I was going through old pictures and came across a picture when we were little…it was of Uncle Bob, my dad (Rich Niebauer) and Bobby. So sad….still can’t believe it. We are all thinking about all of you.

Sue and Family,

Oh God, where do I start? Dee, Deb, Linda and Sue-I knew you best from the family so please know I am with ALL of you in sharing this deep sorrow over losing Bob. As you know, Bob and I had a very deep, loving relationship that, regrettably, ended badly. Fortunately we got over all of that and still had a lot of love and respect for each other. We recently had been talking about getting together to have some laughs, and we had been texting and facebooking. Sadly, we never did get that chance to sit down for those laughs together, but we both knew the bad times were truly behind us, and we held a special place in our hearts for each other. I saw Cher in concert the night Bob passed and from now on, every time I hear her song “I Hope You Find It”, I will think of him. Some of the words: …and I hope you find it, what you’re looking for. I hope it’s everything you’ve dreamed about-and so much more. And I hope you’re happy-wherever you are–I wanted you to know that, and NOTHING’S going to change that, and I hope you find it.” I would change them to say … I KNOW you found it, what you were looking for.” This is exactly what I wish for Bob. I know he was very happy and at peace before he died, and he is now in the glorious arms of the Lord. He was a good-hearted man who always looked after his dearly-loved mother and sisters. If you were friends with Bob, you had a friend for LIFE. I can testify to that personally. God be with you all and if there is ANYTHING at all I can do, please call. I will always and forever have that special place in my heart for Bob. I will never, ever forget him. Love to you all. Barb
My deepest sympathy to Bob’s family. I was shocked when I heard of your loss. I always enjoyed doing business with him, and was happy to have him as a friend.
I’ll always remember a couple days in December a few years ago when we installed aluminum storms on the first and SECOND story of my house at the farm, each of us on a ladder, with a portable drill, on opposite sides of the windows.
Linda, sorry for your loss, your neighbor
