Robert Kiolbassa, a leading figure in the transformation of the San Antonio-based Kiolbassa Smoked Meats company into a sausage powerhouse, died Tuesday surrounded by friends and family. He was 84.
From 1960 to 2021, Robert’s career arc at the company his parents Rufus and Juanita founded in 1949 took him from sweeping the floors and fixing broken machine equipment to acting as its president and CEO.
