Ron Kolb of Willis, TX, and long-time resident of New
Waverly, TX, passed away on March 2, 2013 at the age of 76 following an extended
illness. He is survived by his loving wife Becky, daughter Robin and her
husband Chris, son Gary and his wife Donna, son Stewart and his wife Shari, and
grandchildren Caris, Caitlyn, Chris, Stephen, Derick and Cahill. He was
predeceased by his parents Harry and Naomi Kolb and sister Verna Erhmann of

Ron is a graduate from Penn State University with a BS

with Delta Airlines as Captain until his retirement in
1996.
Ron and his wife Becky were heavily involved in the
community throughout his working career and into his retirement years. Some of
his notable contributions are his serving on the Walker County Fair Committees,
various homeowner association boards, and his leadership with the formation of
the New Waverly Public Library and the design and construction of their new
facility.
Most of all, Ron was a loving and caring husband, father,
grandfather and friend, and cherished his family time. He always exhibited a
positive can-do attitude when meeting challenges and exploring new ventures.
Ron was ready and willing to help others and one we could always count on for
support and guidance.
