He went on to graduate from St. Louis University with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and later received his Masters in Business Administration from Fontbonne. Fluffy and Bob’s first date was when they attended a friend’s wedding. After they exchanged their first and forever “I love yous” on St. Patrick’s Day, then exchanged their forever “I dos” when they married on June 21st 1968.
Bob’s true passion was ensuring that all around him experienced Joy. He loved to take family vacations, play games with his kids and grandkids, and play pranks on others. Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Outer Banks, and Colorado were some of his favorite places to take his family. His love and support for his children knew no bounds. He dedicated himself to nurturing and encouraging them through every challenge and triumph, always offering a listening ear and a helping hand. His unwavering belief in their potential inspired them to chase their dreams and instilled in them the values of kindness, resilience, compassion, generosity, and hard work. The countless sacrifices he made and the countless moments he shared will forever be cherished and remembered. With Bob, you always knew you were loved, which allowed you to love others. His laugh, smile, and energy were contagious to all around him and being in his presence often brought out the best in people.
Bob embodied the spirit of a True Man for Others. His devotion to helping those in need was evident in the countless hours he volunteered in so many places, including where he dedicated his time to assisting individuals with their taxes. This work was not just a duty for Bob; it was a calling that reflected his genuine compassion and desire to uplift his community.
A devoted member of Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Bob found joy and purpose in his faith, always eager to lend a helping hand within the parish family. His involvement enriched the lives of many and forged lasting connections with fellow parishioners.
Professionally, Bob spent an incredible 39 years with Boeing, where he found great fulfillment in his work, often saying he “got paid to play.” His enthusiasm and dedication shone brightly throughout his career, and he cherished the friendships he built along the way.
Bob’s legacy of kindness, integrity, generosity and JOY will forever be remembered and continue to flourish through all the people he has touched and inspired. He is survived by his loving wife Fluffy, their children, grandchildren, and a community that will miss his warm smile and selfless spirit.

I am so very sorry to see this. JOY is exactly what Bob brought to me – Bob and Fluffy were absolutely my favorite couple to talk to at the auction and seeing Bob’s name on my called ID made me so happy. It was my great privilege to come to know Bob through Cor Jesu and to enjoy his friendship for so many years. All of my prayers to you, Fluffy, and to the girls. What a life well lived and example set for all who were blessed to know him. Eternal rest grant unto him, and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Bob’s smiles and waves as he drove through the cul-de-sac will be deeply missed. He brought such joy to all the neighbors. We send our most sincere condolences to the entire Juergens family. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and May perpetual light shine upon him.
My father, Bill Emrick, and Bob have been best friends since the age of 5. Both of them incredible men and how impressive that their friendship has endured all of these years. On behalf of the Emrick family, we are so sorry for your loss as Bob brought kindness, compassion, and love to everyone he encountered. Meghan and Mary, I still remember riding to a teen town dance in the back seat of your station wagon with your dad at the wheel. He sped up on ALL the hills and laughed the entire time! I don’t remember a time being around your dad that he wasn’t smiling and laughing. Bob and Fluff have been a staple topic of conversation within Emrick family gatherings as we are always asking how the Juergens are doing. You are an amazing family because of your amazing parents and know that you have phenomenal memories of your father that you will cherish forever. Love and prayers from the Emrick Family.
Fluffy, our hearts go out to you. Bob and you welcomed our family 11 years ago and have been wonderful neighbors ever since. We were always amazed at how often we would see you guys driving past the hockey net headed to a party. It shows how well loved you both are. Bob will be missed dearly. Whenever you need anything, please reach out. Tim and the kids and I are available. Hugs and prayers for you and your whole family.

Special prayers to all the members of Bob’s family. My Cor Jesus memories of many many events over the years included Bob and his family. Fluffy, always a joy to be with and the daughters I taught/knew at CJ were a blessing to be with. Know of my very special prayers today. I am so grateful that Sr. Agnes called me. I will miss the smiles, stories, events and moments shared….from Father-Daughters at CJ to every auction! Bob, take care of us all from your place next to Jesus. We will miss you so.
With much prayer, Sr. Barbara Thomas, ASCJ

My deepest sympathies to the entire family.
Worked with Bob doing taxes for the AARP. He was a fine leader and made the task enjoyable. He helped many seniors in the St Louis area.
My sincere condolences to Bob’s family. I’m so saddened to learn of his passing. He is at the top of my list of outstanding and knowledgeable people I’ve met in 16 yrs. of volunteering with the tax program. Always so helpful and caring. He left this world a better place than he found it!

I met Bob about 15 years ago when he started his volunteer career with the TaxAide program. The training for the tax season starts in November and in the evening when we met for dinner I would frequently find Bob with his ever present note pad updating the list of purchases for Christmas presents for the family. He loved finding the perfect present for everyone and then wrapping them. His kindness and generosity was an example for all of us. My deepest sympathy to Fluffy and the entire family. He will be missed by many.
To all the Juergens family I send my unending love. What I remember is the lightness and fun and LOVE at your house. How clearly steadfast Bob & Fluffy love their children and each other. And Meg, I remember saying to you, “When your dad looks at you I see how much he loves you!”
Such an inspiration and model of a man and what family can be.

Mr Bob, was a wonderful human being with a big heart, he volunteered his time for many years at the International Institute, assisting low income families with their taxes, we are going to miss him.
In loving memory
Bob was a passionate man — about his family and in his dedication to giving back to his community by helping others. He will be greatly missed. His family is in my prayers at this very sad and difficult time.
I was blessed to know and work with Bob at the International Institute. Many folks only wanted to work with Bob as they trusted him and admired his patience and kindness. The only person I ever met who made working with taxes fun. I will miss his spirit, kindness and beautiful smile. May he rest in peace and God give his family comfort.

I want to offer all of you my deepest sympathy. Mr. Juergens, you always took time to do my taxes over the phone and the patience you had. I thank God for creating such a kind man.
