Klepinski, Robert J. Born 5/20/47. Died 3/21/16.  

Bob, Age 68, of St. Louis Park, passed away suddenly while on vacation in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Survived by his dear wife of 44 years, Terry; his three darlings, Elizabeth (Will), Marta (Kareem), and Katie (Max); and his beloved grandchildren, Mae and Elliott. Preceded in death by his parents, Rose and Kasmir, and treasured aunts Jennie and Sophie. Bob was a proud Polish son of Duluth, MN. He graduated in 1969 from the U of M, where he first met Terry. After earning a law degree from William Mitchell, he embarked upon a career as a regulatory attorney, working for many years at Medtronic, and most recently at Fredrikson & Byron. Bob truly loved his work and was a natural teacher and mentor to many. He nurtured his love of the outdoors as a boy scout, avid fisherman, frustrated golfer, family boat captain, and member of the board at Camp Menogyn. A man of boundless curiosity, Bob was a joyful chef, insatiable reader, exuberant tuba player, crossword enthusiast, and a collector of puns. His greatest joy was his family, and as a loving, devoted Papa he was always there for his three girls. He wholeheartedly encouraged his daughters' academic and athletic pursuits, notably helping to found and coach the first SLP girls' hockey team. His family will miss his boisterous laughter, wise counsel, and generous hugs.
