Bob Kleier's Bio
Bob Kleier has got to be one of the nicest guys you're ever going to meet. Bob is full of stories and some of them may actually be true. Ask Bob about the time he caddied for Happy Chandler, Billy Graham, and Bear Bryant. Nowadays Bob rents office space from me and occasionally we get a chance to sneak off and play golf.
Bob is the quintessential Rotary man. He was Assistant District Governor from 1998 to 2003 and both he and his wife Charlotte are Paul Harris Fellows. Bob also was club president in the North Jackson, Mississippi club and later in the Charlotte, NC club. Born 25 March 1935 he grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and graduated in 1952 from Lexington Catholic High School. In 1958 he received his degree in Civil Engineering from UK. He was in the Army and later the Reserves. He worked for Standard Oil both in Mississippi and later in Charlotte NC. Bob got his MBA from Mississippi College in Clinton.
Bob and Charlotte live just over the line in Edmonson County. She was a Webb and they married in 1965. Bob loves to play golf and to follow UK football and basketball. Like me and a lot of other Kentuckians his blood bleeds blue. Bob and Charlotte attend the Pleasant Union Baptist Church in Brownsville.
