Obituary

Kamm, Robert "Bob" Saginaw, Michigan Our beloved father, grandfather, brother and friend passed away peacefully on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020, at Covenant HealthCare - Cooper. He was 95 years old. Robert Kamm was born in Reese, MI on December 24, 1924 to the late Henry and Charlotte (Auernhamer) Kamm. Bob graduated from Reese High School and then proudly served his country during WWII with the United States Army, 246th Armored Division as a Staff Sargent. He was wounded in Germany and was honored with many military awards including a Purple Heart. Upon his return from the service, he married Marjorie C. Laux on June 8, 1946. She preceded him in death on March 2, 1996. He worked for Chevrolet Saginaw Manufacturing, retiring in 1984 after more than 40 years as a Production Superintendent. Bob enjoyed golf, as he would often reminisce about his time with friends at Germania and the Saginaw Country Club. He was also an avid gardener, as witnessed by his yard. His grass and landscaping were always perfectly manicured. Additionally, he was great with his hands and was an acclaimed woodworker. Several of his pieces were on display in his home. His present hobbies included watching sports, especially golf (the love of his life), and visiting with family and friends. He also was a voracious reader and his memory was as sharp as a tack. He is survived by his children: Jerome "Jerry" (Patricia) Kamm, Gail (Donald) Kamm-Vogler and John (Susan) Kamm; two grandchildren, Ryan (Sara) Kamm and Tyler Kamm; sister, Eleanor (Robert) Schrader; brother-in-law, Henry Feit; sister-in-law, Carolyn Kamm; many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Marjorie; three sisters: Lillian French, Marlene Ellen and Darlene Feit; and brother, Wilmer Kamm. SERVICE: A celebration of life service will be held at 12:00 p.m. Saturday, July 25, 2020 at the Saginaw Country Club, 4465 Gratiot Rd., Saginaw, MI 48638. Military Honors under the auspices of V.F.W. Post #1856 will follow the service. GATHERING: Family and friends will gather at the Country Club on Saturday, July 25, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service. Burial has taken place at Bethlehem Cemetery. MEMORIALS: In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy may consider a donation to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church or the Saginaw Rescue Mission.
