Bub

Kerr

George Edward "Bub" Kerr, 73, of Newcastle, died Saturday, October 25, 2014 in Oklahoma City. The son of Chester Carrol Kerr and Ellen Ruth (Hinsley) Kerr, he was born August 10, 1941 in Tucson, Arizona.

Bub worked as a mechanic and auto body man until his retirement. He had a great sense of humor and always loved a good joke. Bub had many toys and hobbies but his most prized possession was his '51 Mercury that he built from the frame up. He enjoyed working in his shop and always had a project going. He had a passion for all music but particularly loved bluegrass. Bub enjoyed going to bluegrass festivals and looked forward to socializing each year with all of the friends he had met. He could play the mandolin and fiddle but rarely played in public. Bub had many talents and could fix almost anything. He always said that the only two things he couldn't fix were a broken heart and the crack of dawn. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, James Carrol Kerr.

He is survived by his wife, Loycie Kerr, of Newcastle; one daughter, Edde Grigsby and her husband, Donnie, of Newcastle; three grandchildren, Tara Grigsby, Taylor Otley, and Logan Grigsby, all of Newcastle; two great grandchildren, Kamden Grigsby and Savannah Otley, both of Newcastle; one sister, Kim Stremlow, her husband, Robert, and their children, Christopher Stremlow and Lyndsie Stremlow, all of Purcell; two aunts; two uncles; numerous cousins; and many other loved ones and friends.
