FORT WORTH -- Robert Ray Kelley, 79, passed away Thursday, Oct. 11, 2007, at his residence.
Funeral: 10 a.m. Monday at Emerald Hills Memorial Chapel. Interment: Emerald Hills Memorial Park. Visitation: 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.
Robert "Paw" was a loving husband and father. The best daddy in the world. He was a wood-art craftsman (he could work miracles with a saw), avid fisherman, and could fix or repair any type of motor. He could do anything. He wasn't a rich man, of monetary wealth (he was rich in other ways). He was always willing to help anyone. He would give you his last dime if he knew you needed it. A good friend. He didn't discriminate--he treated everyone the same. He was a good man. He loved good fiddle music and the Texas Rangers. He was a lifelong Fort Worth resident--a native Texan from his cowboy hat down to his boots.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Bonnie Rae Byas Kelley and Alonzo E. Kelley; sister, LeeUla Baskin; and brother, Jack Kelley.
Survivors: Loving wife of 60 years, Roberta Kelley; children, Steven Kelley and wife, Debra, David Kelley and wife, Marie, Kimberly Bullock and husband, Wesley and Kristi Berryhill and husband; Jim-bo; 10 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; nieces; nephews; and precious friends.
