Washington Co., WI – Bob and Janis Weyker have moved many times throughout their married life, living in West Bend, Newburg, and Kewaskum. Four years ago, they decided to make the move to Cedar Community’s independent living apartments. Even though Bob says, “My motor still runs a little bit too fast,” he wanted a place where they would be taken care of if anything happened to them. “I get pulled along,” laughs Janis.

The Weykers don’t have children, so looking ahead to the future, they wanted to be part of a community where they could feel safe and secure, age in place, and add services down the road, if needed.
Bob worked as a bricklayer for 38 years and was the one everyone came to when they
needed complex arch work done. He retired at age 57 and then spent time training German
Shorthaired Pointers—raising a champion of his own and guiding hunts at Caden’s Kennel and Hunt Club.
Janis worked at the Gehl Company for 44 years. Upon arriving at Cedar Community, they quickly became actively involved in volunteering—encouraged by another resident who was helping with the Cedar Ridge Campus watering and tree and shrub trimming.
