Robert SHELLEY Obituary

Robert "Bob" Shelley, age 79, passed away in his home on December 21st, surrounded by loved ones,

Bob was born in Los Angeles, CA, to Charles Mundorf and Florence Kulczyk in April 1944. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War in a pharmacy at the Madigan hospital. After finishing college, he served as a pharmacist in the Public Health Service. He continued pharmaceutical work in the private sector after retiring from the military.

Bob had a deep love for family, travel, music, and the outdoors; and he felt immense pride watching his children carry on these passions. In recent years, he and his wife were active members of the Inland NW Airstream Club. Together, they enjoyed traveling the West, where he greeted strangers as new friends through his kindness and sense of humor.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Stephanie; sister, Shelley Sinclaire; Coralee Shelley; seven children, Erik, Kristina (Jon), Jennifer (Kai), Peter (Jessica), Michael (Mariko), Sam (Aliza), and David (Hannah); and six grandchildren.

A memorial service is planned for the spring of 2024. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in his honor to the Hospice of Spokane or a charity of your choosing.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We will chrish our memories of our adventures and stories with Bob! He was always so inclusive with his outlaw family. Hands down my favorite part of Bob was the LOVE he had for his family! He adored having his entire family home for Christmas and visiting all his children around the world...
