From Virginia Online Magazine, Summer 2007:

Robert Kay Woltz (Col ’40, Law ’46, ’47 L/M) of Richmond, Va., died March 22, 2007. At U.Va., he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and the West Lawn Marching and Chowder Society. He served in the U.S. Army as a corporal in the counterintelligence corps during World War II. Judge Woltz practiced law until 1968, when he was sworn in as a Virginia circuit court judge. He retired after 21 years of service, but continued to hear cases as a substitute judge. He was past president of the Winchester Bar, regional vice president of the Virginia State Bar and chairman of the Virginia State Bar’s Seventh District Commission. Judge Woltz was an adjunct professor at the U.Va. School of Law and was selected as a fellow of the Virginia Law Foundation. Active in his community, he served on the board of the Godfrey Miller Home for 58 years, served as past president of the Winchester-Frederick County Historical Society for 10 years and formed the Woltz-Winchester Foundation to enrich the culture, beauty, education and charity of Winchester and Frederick counties. Survivors include daughters Lynn Woltz Bernard (Col ’82) and Rita R. Woltz (Col ’84 L/M); adopted sons E. Clarke Haley Jr. (Res ’78, ’82) and Timothy F. Haley (Law ’78); and a granddaughter, Frances R. Bernard (Col ’10).
