ROBERT (BOB) KOLT SR.
March 31, 1940 - August 28, 2016
It is with profound sadness that the
family announces the peaceful passing of
Robert (Bob) Kolt Sr. on Sunday, August
28, 2016 at the age of 76 years.
Left to cherish Bob's memories are Judy,
his wife of 52 years; son Jack (Sheryl)
Kolt; daughter Debbie (Jeff) Kot; son Bob
Jr. (Joanne) Kolt; and his beloved
grandchildren, Cass, Becky, Matthew,
Brady, Christopher, Brianna and Marisa
Lynne. Bob took tremendous joy and pride
in the many accomplishments of his
children and grandchildren. Bob will also
be sadly missed by his twin brother,
Richard (Bev) Kolt; sister Linda (Doug)
Johnson; many nieces and nephews and
numerous friends. He was predeceased by
his mother Lee and father Jack Kolt Sr.
With his father Jack and brother Richard,
Bob cofounded and successfully expanded
and operated Kolt Music School and Sales
for 49 years with multiple locations
across Winnipeg. His entrepreneurial drive
led him to pursue other business ventures
including electronic sales and repairs,
video gaming, and eventually developing a
passion for consulting in the gold mining
industry.
Bob loved to entertain. The Kolt Brothers
band, a Manitoba institution for over 20
years, performed at countless weddings and
special occasions while recording numerous
albums along the way. One of Bob's
favourite songs to sing was the Blue
Bombers Fighting Song, written by his
brother Richard in the 1970s.
In compliance with Bob's wishes, no formal
Funeral Service will be held. The family
wishes to extend special thanks and
sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff
at the Simkin Centre for the loving care
and comfort they provided Bob and our
family during his stay.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made
to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, 120
Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4G2 or The
Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre, 1 Falcon
Ridge Drive, Winnipeg MB, R3Y 1V9.
