Our heartfelt condolences to the family. I often think back to our card games back on Grandview when Mr. Kelm would come home and sit in for a few hands with the boys. He was always trying to teach us a few new games to play. As I have that very card table in our home I will continue to think of him often. God Bless and our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Derald & Annie Diachun (Friends) on: Jan 16, 2014

We are so sorry to hear about your father's/husband's passing. Mr. Kelm was an amazing man. Before he moved to Vancouver, he worked on the eavestroughs of our house (parsonage) because he was Property Chairperson of Grace Lutheran Church. He was so dedicated in whatever he did. As this generation passes, we need to keep those good memories alive. You are a wonderful family. Peace to all.... - Posted by: Elaine (Gelhorn) on: Jan 16, 2014
