At one time Mr. Kelly had a shrimp boat and after about a year decided he didn’t care for shrimping very much.

Bob loved to tell a story… one of his favorites was the time he walked across Africa barefoot. We all enjoyed his stories and to hear him laugh. Bob enjoyed helping others whenever he could and would always say if you needed anything don’t hesitate to ask.
