William "Buzz" Kolbe

Wow, I just saw this..Big sorry. We were best buddies in High School....I took his yearbook picture! Think about Buzz and those days back in 1973 all the time. Miss u already

I am alum of the University of Texas Dallas Executive NBA program. Though I didn´t have the privilege of working with Buzz as an executive coach, I know the program was greatly enhanced by his participation and leadership. RIP and my condolences to the family. JR Noonan

Hypnotic smile that invited you in. Which Springsteen song should I play for the Gunnison listeners (now that you introduced me to him). Fell out of pro skiing and landed at KWSB. Bill Maron and Dana Had a room available. Jane was next door. I was scared. Coming back from severe concussion and amnesia. Buzz befriended me as well as those I mentioned and others at the station. For some reason he liked me. It was and is important to me. And he was winning at Backgammon. He took me to...

Many laughs. Many songs. Endless Backgammon. He treated me to a Springsteen concertwe talked. I miss you, Buzz! You´re a good heart. Catch up with you soon.

So many great memories with Buzz, but tailgating together will always be some of my favorites (even though he was routing for the wrong team). Miss you my friend!

I had the pleasure of meeting Buzz when I was a member of Leadership Plano Class 21, and our friendship lasted almost 20 years. He became an inspiring mentor to both me and my son when we were going through career changes. I will always treasure his memory.
