Bob “Leo” Kelcourse ’71

Bob “Leo” Kelcourse ’71 died July 17 in Clearwater, Florida, of complications of pancreatic cancer. Classmate Jim Rager reports that he had spoken to Bob twice in the preceding weeks, once just after the biopsy was performed and again when results were in. While the prognosis was not good, he was full of fight and even promised to record one last rendition of “Great Balls of Fire” for the class. He was an active student: a member of Phi Delta Alpha/Phi Delta Theta and participant in student workshops and the Tucker fellowship. He also played football and lacrosse. As an alumnus, he interviewed prospective students and was an Alumni Fund agent for fraternities and sororities. He is survived by children Hannah, Lisa, Mark, and Michael.
