Robert Kehres Obituary

Robert Kehres had a mind for law but a heart for music. As a young man, despondent with the legal system and criminal law, Kehres walked away from his career as an attorney. He worked in a number of industries, from automotive to prosthetics, but through it all one thing was constant: his trumpet. Read the news obituary.

It was a pleasure having Bob in the New Horizons Band of Atlanta. He rarely missed a rehearsal and was always a great guy to have with us. He will be sorely missed by all. His contributions went beyond playing trumpet. His opinions and ideas were valuable. Rest in Peace, Bob. Even at the age of 90 you are gone from us too soon. Condolences to the family and to his many friends.

I am thankful to have known Bob. He always had a smile on his face and he could always carry on a conversation with anyone! We will miss him hanging out at our Progressive Dinner's in the neighbourhood and carrying on about how beautiful the ladies look to him. He was a kindred spirit to many of us. Rest in peace.
