Bob was a former headmaster who played for Dungannon before he went on to form Western Counties aka North Fermanagh.
He worked tirelessly for both his club and the NWCU, where he became Chairman before going on to hold the highest offices in Irish cricket.
The esteem in which he was held was reflected in the tributes paid to him at the time of his death, with Head Coach Adrian Birrell leading the praise.
"Bob was a great ambassador for Irish cricket, and worked tirelessly in his various roles within cricket."
Those views were echoed by Bob's colleague Joe Doherty.
"Bob has given outstanding service to Irish cricket at club, provincial, and national level, holding almost every senior position in the land with distinction.
"To me personally, he was always very supportive, especially when I was Chairman of the NWCU and ICU. I shall always be grateful for that. His sudden passing will leave a big void in Irish cricket, and his beloved North West."
Bob's wife Hope ensured his legacy lived on with the Irish Senior Cup trophy being called "The Bob Kerr Trophy", and also the establishment of a Memorial Trust fund to assist in the development of the game, particularly in the NW region.
