Bob was the kind of guy who could find humor in anything, a trait that made every moment with him a cherished memory.
Bob’s life was a treasure trove of stories, often featuring his beloved daughters, Brenda Sherman, and Christina Kelton, who Inherited their dad’s love and humor in life. The legacy of laughter continued with the grandkids, Courtney, Alyssa, Dayauna, and Lewin, and was a set to keep growing with great grandkids Milliano, Adilynn, and much anticipated arrival of baby Jayla.
He was the KING of garage Sailing, always in search of the perfect find. He loved fishing and being outdoors. Western movies were his escape; and his love for music had him two-stepping through life with a rhythm all his own. But let’s be honest, Bob’s favorite pastime was being with his family, a role he played with the grace of a seasoned comedian, never missing a beat to deliver a punchline or a hug.
Bob was the embodiment of love, selflessness, and humor. He taught us all to take a little less seriously, to find joy in the small things, and to love with everything we’ve got. And while the curtains have closed on his life, his influence will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. Bob Kelton, you were one of a kind, and we are all so lucky to have been part of your life!RIP Dad “Pappa”!
