Raub Zeller, 83, of Schulenburg, Texas, passed away in his sleep on Wednesday, November 8, 2017.
Mr. Zeller retired to Schulenburg after selling the family carwash in Austin and a 35-year career in sales. He graduated from Rossville High School in 1952. He was a proud US military veteran serving in the US Army on the Berlin Wall during the Korean War and as a medic in the Kansas National Guard. Since arriving in Schulenburg, he faithfully attended Zion Lutheran Church; recently received his 10-year pin as a member of American Legion Post 143 and was an active member of the Lions Club until health prohibited.
Raub spent many hours with his treasured Allis Chalmers tractors which are still used on the family farm and in his garden. His love for the orange tractors endured from his early years on the family farm in Rossville, Kansas. He left Kansas with his young family to pursue sales in Houston. There he discovered the Gulf Coast spending all his free time with family and friends at the beach house on the San Bernard river or offshore fishing for grouper, dorado, kings, and snapper or hunting for goose and dove. His uncanny ability to fix anything with a motor, his buttermilk pancakes and yeast rolls, and his giant cinnamon rolls were enjoyed for many holiday seasons and will be remembered for many to come.
He is survived by Mary, his wife of 51 years, and three of his sons, Patrick, Michael and Timothy, while his oldest son Raub Jr. preceded him in death. He leaves daughters-in-law Janet, Kelly and Renee; grandchildren Heather, Kelly, Ashley, Tarah, John, Zack, Nick, and Zoe; great grandchildren Zev, Skyler, Rowen, Reaves, Justice, Richie, Ainsley, and Arabella; and seven siblings Lyle, Roger, Alice, Becky, Connie, Vince and Donna. His parents, Nora Marie Beck Zeller and Uriah Raub Zeller and his brother Larry also preceded him in death.
Memorial services are set for Saturday, Dec. 2 at 11 a.m. at Zion Luthran Church in Schulenburg.
