ROBERT "BOB" KLATT, Sr.
ANDERSON, SC
Robert "Bob" Warren Klatt, Sr. , age 88, passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 at his residence.
Born in The Bronx, NY, on August 2, 1925, he was the son of the late August Oscar Klatt and the late Emma Bargon Klatt. Bob proudly served his country in the United States Navy. Much of his working life was spent in the Chicago area at American Chemet where he was a dynamic leader and served the company well in many areas; as a salesman, executive, shareholder, board member and visionary. After 'retiring' to Anderson, SC, Bob lived an active life in the community by assisting others and helping start and support numerous organizations such as Hospice of the Upstate and GAMAC (Greater Anderson Musical Arts Consortium). Bob actively supported the Anderson Arts Center and was a member of the Board of Directors at Anderson University. God and faith were central to Bob's life: he spent many years worshiping at the First Presbyterian Church of Anderson and was recently an active member of Boulevard Baptist Church in Anderson, SC.
He is survived by a son, Kimberly August Klatt and his wife Maureen Kennedy Klatt; two daughters, Jane Alice Klatt Burwell and her husband Dana Burwell and Jennifer Potter Klatt King and her husband Jeffrey King; a daughter-in-law, Christina Gartner Klatt; 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.
