Bobby Lee Kelm

Bobby Lee Kelm graduated into heaven on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 5:55pm at the age of 79 years. His is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Jolene Kelm, daughter Robin Tucker and her husband Marcus Tucker and his three grandchildren: John, Madeline and Sarah Tucker. We want to celebrate Bobby's wonderful 67 years before he had the stroke in 2001. He was a man who lived life to the fullest. He worked hard, played hard and was always there for his family and domestic responsibilities. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a kind and gentle man with a love and tender touch for his family. He took adversity on the chin and always had a positive attitude. His attitude after the stroke was an example of this, never complaining and making the best of his handicapped state. He exemplified patience, endurance and courage. He was a generous man who would give the shirt off his back to one in need. Everyone loved Bobby Kelm. He made lasting friends from school days all the way through his life. He made people laugh and always had something to say. He was an avid golfer, and his golfing friends referred to him as "jaws" because he was always talking and kidding. He will be missed so much by family and friends and will always be remembered as the wonderful man he was.
