He graduated from Mankato State University with a double major in Speech/Journalism. He later graduated from Hamline Law School with a Juris Doctor degree. Bob and Jean have been in the hospitality business since 1983.

He will be fondly remembered as a loving husband, dad and grandpa who adored his family. Those who knew him well loved his sense of humor, kindness, storytelling, patriotism, and generous spirit.

He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Jean of Sartell; four children, Bob (Crystal) Pace, III of Litchfield, Libby (Matt) Weimer of St. Michael, Tony Pace of Minneapolis, and Christina Pace, Woodbury; five grandchildren, Jake, Josh, and Kirsten Pace, Ali and Lauren Weimer; four sisters; Susan Benson, Kathleen (LeRoy) Hodges, Jenny (Jerry) Samples, Laura (Duncan) McGregor, and brother David Pace; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his dedication to family and his business, Bob loved going to the lake, boating, going to his hunting camp, cooking, and gardening.

He was preceded in death by his parents; uncle George Burns Jr, uncle Robert Burns, and nephew Matthew Kalash. Bob was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

A heartfelt thank you to our family and friends for all of your love and support. Also, thank you to the staff of CentraCare St. Cloud Hospital for their compassionate care.
