Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRICHARD EDWARD KOLBAUER July 30, 1942 - November 6, 2011 After a long, courageous battle with heart disease, Richard Kolbauer, beloved husband and father succumbed to his illness. Richard is survived by his wife of 29 years, Susan (Watson); his two daughters Georgina and Robyn; his brothers Ronald (Joan) and Bob (Lucy); his two sisters Doreen (Jackie) and Linda (Mike); numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews. Richard is predeceased by his father Louis, mother Mildred Kolbauer; his sister Myrna, brother-in-law Ed Pope, and father-in-law Paul Reder. Richard was a loving husband and father who was always up for spending time with his girls that included not only his wife and daughters, but also his cherished pets: Lady, Bobby, Boots and Moochie. Richard worked for 32 years in electronic components sales and distribution for Camgard Supply and Future Active Multi-Components. Richard had a profound affect on everyone he met as he treated his many maladies and disabilities with grace and humour. His sheer determination and fighting spirit in the face of many personal struggles made him a hero to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

As I get older and think back on my life and all the people that made a mark in my life. I will always remember the picture in my mind of Richard at his spot on the order desk at CamGard. He always had humour that he shared and contributed to the best work place I have had. To his family, please know he will always have a place in the hearts of all his co-workers. - Posted by: Doug Mann (Friend and CamGard co-worker) on: Jun 04, 2021
