All of us who knew and loved Robert Jon “Bob” Kerr, Sr. were very sad when we received the news that he passed away on Sept. 15 at the age of 79. He was a faithful member of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. He was a dear friend to all of us at Mt. Moriah and many others who are from other locations. He never met a stranger. He was born in Syracuse, New York. He joined the U.S. Army, serving active duty for three years and spending 28 years in the Army National Guard. He married Florence Plumber Kerr in 1962. They enjoyed 59 happy years of marriage. Other than his wife, he is survived by two sons, Robert Jon Kerr Jr. (Delaine) and Kevin Michael Kerr, 12 grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a host of friends. Our prayers and condolences are with Bob’s family.
