Robert “Bob” Ernest Mandt, 74, of Cross Lanes, WV, passed away at the Hubbard House on February 4, 2021, after a
long battle with liver disease.
Bob was born on April 8, 1946 in South Charleston, WV to Charles and Virginia (Nearman) Mandt. He graduated
from South Charleston High School in 1964 and received his Business Administration degree from West Virginia
State University in 1968. After graduation he served as an officer in the United States Army in Germany and
Vietnam and achieved the rank of Captain. After his military service, he returned to West Virginia and accepted
employment in state government. During his career, he worked for Employment Security, Civil Service, Finance and
Administration, and Labor.
Bob was a talented jazz pianist who played professionally at many venues in the local area beginning at the age of
17 with a dance orchestra. His Bob Mandt Trio played at the area’s country clubs and hotels for many years. He
especially enjoyed playing for the Charleston Steerwheel Regatta Beauty Pageant and at the Governor’s Mansion.
Bob was also a proud member of Masonic Lodge #159 in Dunbar. WV where he was a Past Master and received his
50 year pin last year.
Bob was preceded in death by his father, Charles; his mother, Virginia; his brother, Charles “Chuck”; and his
sister-in-law, Ruth. He is survived by his long-time companion, Susan Lowe; his nephews, Charlie and Marc; his
nieces, Julie and Lynn; and six great nephews and nieces.
A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 16th, 2021 at the Donel C Kinnard Memorial State Veterans
Cemetery, 130 Academy Drive, Dunbar, WV at 1:30 pm.
