Bobby graduated from Chamblee High School. He was eager to start his life in-service and started working at a young age. He proudly retired from the Gulf Oil Corporation, as a district manager after a successful 30 year career.

Bobby was a devoted husband and adored his wife, Aletha Yancey Kelley. He loved his children, especially his grand children. He supported extracurricular activities and always tried to bring joy and a smile to those around him. He enjoyed sports, especially Georgia bulldogs, (Go dawgs!), cars, fishing, camping, and vacations to the beach & mountains. He held a special place in his heart for his animals.

Bobby’s friendships were very special and friends will tell you he never turned down a chance to help a friend or a neighbor build or repair something.
