Robert “Rob” Kee, 62, of Lewes, Del., passed away in his home on March 27, 2018, due to heart complications. He was born August 30th, 1955 in Youngstown, Ohio, son of the late Robert Kee and Mary Ellen Gillie.
Graduating from Campbell Memorial High School in 1973, he later went on to marry Rose Marie Cutrone on July 25, 1981. The couple then moved to Rehoboth Beach, Del., where he raised a son, Richard Kee, and later a daughter, Dominique (Nikki) Kee.
Kee was an avid freshwater fisherman, finding enjoyment out of catching largemouth bass in many of the lakes, ponds and rivers on the Eastern Shore, as well as participating in many tournaments. He also took pleasure in the sport of bowling since he was a child, participating in leagues and tournaments in Millsboro and Milford Lanes during his time in Delaware and being proud of multiple 300 games.
Kee touched many lives during his time on this earth and many friends can recall him as an honest, selfless, caring and hard-working man, who always had a smile on his face and persevered through any obstacle in his path.
He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Rose Marie Kee; his son, Richard M. Kee; his daughter, Dominique L. Kee; his brother, William G Kee; his sister, Cheryl Kee-Mongold; and his two grandsons, Richard M. Kee II, and Kyle J. Kee. Kee loved and was loved by many in-laws, nieces and nephews, co-workers, friends and countless others who didn’t know he was the gentleman holding the door, or nodding and smiling as a warm gesture or greeting.
A Mass of Christian burial was scheduled for April 2, 2018, at St. Jude the Apostle Church, Lewes, Del. Arrangements are by Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Lewes, Del.
