Bob was raised in a small farming community near the town of Howells in
Northeast Nebraska. Raised by parents, Wilfred and Marjoree Wiese, Born on June
23, 1955, Bob was the oldest of his family with two sisters and a brother. He
established a good work ethic at a young age by helping on his family farm until
he graduated from Howells High in 1973.
Bob began to develop an interest in the automotive field and decided to go to
Northeast Tech. Working at a filling station in Norfolk and completing school
led him to graduate at the age of 20.
He began his career working for Al Pfeifer in Madison, Nebraska. He then
moved to Omaha and worked in the dealer arena for several years.
In 1980 he decided to start his own shop named "B" Street Auto Body. He
experienced plenty of hard times in his small 4000 square foot facility. Bob was
known for his great quality and complete restorations. As the years went on, Bob
grew his business to a 12000 square foot facility that focused mainly on
production and collision repair.
Growing up in a small Nebraska town of just a few hundred people, Bob learned
the power of word of mouth advertising. He learnd that businesses live or die by
how they treat people, especially when eveyone knows one another. He figured
these small town lessons would serve well when he opened his business.
Bob was an active member in the NABA. Bob served as Treasurer for many years.
He also helped co-chair two of the NABA conventions that were held in Omaha. Bob
never missed a board meeting when he held the office of Treasurer and he also
attended almost evert Omaha area Meeting.
Robert was a devoted husband and father of five children. He is truly missed
by his family and his NABA friends.
