Bob Krauss

Advertiser columnist Bob Krauss died this afternoon at Kaiser Moanalua Medical Center. Krauss, 82, was recovering from heart surgery he underwent last week. Krauss wrote for The Advertiser for more than 50 years, writing more than 8,000 columns, and was known to thousands of people in Honolulu and throughout the state.

In his last column on Aug. 27, he said he had opted for heart surgery at his age because he wanted to be able to keep writing, which was his great love.

He wrote:

"I could play it safe and turn into a couch potato. But that would mean I'd have to stop writing stories for you."
