TulsaCats Alumni Club

I forgot to post this last week!
We sent the new version of care packages out to Tulsa area students attending KState in Manhattan and Salina last week since finals are this week!

We've heard back from several that the chick fil a cards are a big hit!

Don't forget to come to our social night on June 6th at Los Cabos and you can support a student or two with care packages next year!

Sad to share that one of our local active alumni passed away this past weekend. His service is this Saturday if you would like to attend....

Robert (Bob) Jan Wiruth, 81 years old of Tulsa, OK, passed away April 14, 2024. He fiercely fought cancer for 16 years, defying all odds.
Bob was born in Garden City, KS to Fred and Glenna Wiruth, spent some early years in Millstadt, IL, but grew up in Wakeeney, Kansas. He developed an early love of farming working with his Grandad Moody, and later that love extended to managing Wiruth Farms, LLC. He became a proud Kansas State Wildcat. There he was a member and served as President of FarmHouse Fraternity which he credits as shaping his life. Kansas State is also where he met and married the “best dressed girl on campus”. He graduated with a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering and spent his career in the petroleum industry, starting with Continental Pipeline (Conoco) and moving to Tulsa with Williams Cos. He later purchased Transport Delivery Co from E.R. Minshall Jr. which operated in Missouri and Illinois while headquartered in Tulsa. Bob was a dedicated Rotarian in the Rotary Club of Tulsa where he was a Paul Harris Fellow and a Community Fellow. After retirement he enjoyed singing with the Rotary Men of Note and ringing the Salvation Army bell during the holidays. Bob was invested in his son’s rise to Eagle Scout which included organizing a Boundary Water trip for his son’s Scout troop and shared in other Scout trips to Philmont and Glacier National Park.
Bob is proceeded in death by his parents, Fred and Glenna Wiruth and his infant sister Cheryl Wiruth.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sheryl; his daughter, Tiffany Brooks (Byron) and their children, Read and Cashier; his son, Brent, and his children, Cameron and Carson; in addition to his brother, Don Wiruth (Treva).
The family wishes to thank the caregivers who provided loving care and support to both Bob and Sheryl in the late stages of his battle with cancer.
Services will be held Saturday, April 20, 11:00 at Fitzgerald’s Southwood Colonial Chapel, 3612 E. 91st St. Tulsa, OK. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Rotary Club of Tulsa Foundation and Kansas State FarmHouse Fraternity.

Let's get social!

We are planning an evening out with our fellow K-State alumni and friends and hope that you can join us.

We will meet at Los Cabos in Jenks at the Riverwalk at 6:30 pm on Thursday, June 6th. We have tables reserved in their back room for our group.

Instead of charging for a banquet, everyone will be able to order off the menu. The club will provide some appetizers to go with the chips and salsa!

We are hoping to have representatives from the university join us, but we have not heard anything back yet on that yet.

We will be collecting money for the semester care packages - which is now Chick fil a gift cards and for our scholarship fund.

It’s time to get the family together and cheer on your 'Cats as they compete in the 2023 Pop-Tarts Bowl vs NC State!

Enjoy some K-State Wildcat camaraderie, a beverage - or two - and celebrate your favorite team. Families are welcome!
