Kelma C. enjoyed fishing, barbecues with is family and Holiday celebrations. He did not like to be hugged or kissed but we all did it anyway.

He may have enjoyed being a coach more than anything. For many, many years he was coaching soft ball and little league ball, bringing numerous teams to championships from Los Angeles to Arkansas where he was loved by players, parents and even rivalry teams.

His happiest times was when he was fishing from the banks of Lake Chicot, Arkansas where he owned a home. Or fishing from any ‘ol place as long as they were biting.

He died surrounded by his children, his grandchildren and his wife. He was 91 years old.

A huge and special thanks to… Hospice of Santa Cruz County, Marisol one of his amazing caregivers, and to his granddaughter Amanda Grove as a hospice nurse she was there through it all.
