First Lay Chair of CSB Board Dies at 99
Robert “Bob” Witte died in February at the age of 99 of natural causes. Witte was a member of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune organization for 35 years, rising to vice president and member of the Board of Directors.
In 1978, he was named chairman of the College of Saint Benedict Board of Trustees. He was the first layman ever named to that position. Previously, the prioress of Saint Benedict’s Monastery or her designee had served as chair. Witte was a beloved husband, parent, grandparent, friend, host and benefactor to all who knew him. Funeral arrangements were made this spring through Miller-Carlin Funeral Homes and memorials were directed toward the College of Saint Benedict or the Cathedral of St. Mary in St. Cloud.
