Frank Kellel Obituary
Col. Frank Kellel, Jr. (ret. U. S. Army) died April 26, 2016. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lois Marie Kellel and son, Kevin Lee Kellel and is survived by his son,
Robert Frank Kellel; daughters-in-law, Brenda Elizabeth Kellel and
Kimberly Stelzer Kellel; and granddaughters, Tyla Michelle Kellel and Laura Marie Kellel.
Born in Williamson, West Virginia on April 9, 1926, he lived 90 years, the last 12 battling Alzheimer's like the professional soldier and warrior he was. Family man, U.S. Army Medical Service Corps officer, founder with wife Lois, in 1971, of Antiquarian Book Mart on Broadway near Brackenridge Park, he lived a happy life and was a self-satisfied, reasonable, loving individual until the end. "Good Night Sweet Prince!"
The Graveside Service will be 9:30 a.m., Friday, May 6, 2016 at the Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery with
Full Military Honors. Condolences may be offered at www.sunsetfuneralhomesa

Many thanks to the dedicated staff at Homewood Residence in Castle Hills where he lived for 10 years and to the good people at San Pedro Manor who cared for him his last few days. Also, thanks to Sister Bernadette of Our Lady of the Lake who comforts the bereaved at Metropolitan Methodist Hospital.

To the family of Frank Kellel...our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Colonel resided at the same place as my mother and was always friendly and quite a funny guy. We will miss his charming personality. RIP Colonel...

I was privileged to know and serve with Frank when he was Chief of Personnel to the Surgeon, Eighth Army Korea, while I was the Executive Officer at Seoul Military Hospital. Always pleasant and friendly he was a knowledgeable and gracious mentor. A "prince" of a guy.

He was my favorite Uncle. We didn't get to see each other much due to the distance we lived apart. But when we did visit he always made you feel so loved and special!
