Valene Kelly posted a condolence

Over the past few days I have had time to reflect on the type of person my grandfather was: happy, kind, patient, loving, and wise. As children it seemed like every time we were in his presence, he could make magic happen. As teenagers he listened to our trials, tribulations and mistakes and reminded us that these things too would pass. As adults his example was a constant reminder to appreciate the most important thing in life, your family. We bid him farewell with heavy hearts and he will be greatly missed.

John Kelly, III posted a condolence

Sometimes because of our own human selfish love for a parent we try to deny them the right to move forward. All of us are energy that becomes matter. When the matter goes away the energy still exists, you can’t destroy it, it never dies. Death is not the ending of anything, the energy manifests somewhere else. Death is just a door opening to somewhere else. Someday I’ll know what that door opens to. Love, your son

Mary Beth posted a condolence

Dad as a sit here tearfully remembering and cherishing so many memories, one thing I can say is that each person who you touched, you left a lasting impression in their lives. You were truly a very kind, loving, giving Father who had the gift to make each one of his children feel so special. Your sense of humor and calming presence on any situation made it seem as if there was nothing you couldn't fix. And boy did you. How often when we were so worried about you, the words we heard in comfort were" Don't worry I'll be alright. I cherish all the fond memories that we shared and thank the Lord for giving you to me as my daddy and hero. Lovingly your Betsy

Dear Grandpop, How do I begin to thank you for a life full of such wonderful memories. When ever I needed a ride home from work or just tagging along to mass and dinner at the China Inn, just being in your presence was all that mattered! I remember you always had your golf clubs in the trunk and a smile on your face. Telling me that I looked beautiful when we were on the phone. Ha, you couldn't even see me! I was so blessed to have spent all the special times with you that I did. Know that I will always treasure them! I am so lucky that I had the BEST Grandpop in the world!!! I will carry you in my heart always!!! Love you forever, Monica

There are so many great memories that I have of our times together weather holidays or just picking me up from school. You were always fair, giving, and understanding a person I could talk to about anything. You never showed preference to any one grandchild and we have all shared similar memories of you. Weather it was dinner together or car rides to different appointments you were there for every single last one of us. You were one person that could brighten the room with just your presence. You were always cheering every last one of us on and praying for our successes in our lives. I know that I will miss your presence in my everyday life but I know that you will always be with me no matter what the circumstances are for the rest of my life because that is the type of person that you have always been for me. I hope you know that you will always be cherished and it gives me peace to know that you are in heaven and we will meet again one day.

Mr. Kelly, You always insisted that we call you "Jack", but we had too much respect and admiration for you to call you "Jack". You truly were a blessing to everyone who knew you. You were always gracious to us and made us feel comfortable and welcome whenever we were in your presence. You will be missed by every person whose life you have touched.(including ours) Your life will live on and on in the memory of your LOVING family and friends. YOU WERE THE BEST! Love always.

Your Daughter Jean posted a condolence

Dad,I loved being with you, it was such a comfortable place to be and I miss you so much. I have so many memories in so many places that it seems you are everywhere I go. You poured so much of yourself into me that you are ever so much a part of me. You were my main encourager and I really could use you right now. When I had my difficult times you would come beside me and sometimes guide me or advise me or just quietly be beside me loving me in a way that helped me see my way through the pain. You gave and gave and gave. It is the joy of being with you again one day that gets me through this grief. Your love was the kind of love that many could only dream to know. I knew I was loved by you, that was never a question. I miss your touch, I miss your love and I miss being loved by you. With my deepest love and gratitude, your daughter, Jean

Pop Pop, I love you so much! I remember every time I came over to your house you always gave me a bag of Goldfish. I remember when you would stand out on the driveway waving goodbye making all theese hand jestures. I thought you were so funny. Simple things like that made me love you so much more. I'm gonna miss all those Goldfish, and you waving goodbye on the driveway. You always called me Cookie. I remember you told me why you called me Cookie you said because I was soooo sweet. I won't forget sitting next to you late at night watching T.V. while my mom and dad were out. I'm sure gonna miss you! Thanks for all theese little moments that are truly unforgetable. Have fun in Heaven with your new body. Can't wait to see you again! Love you!!!! XOXOXOXO

Dad I just want to tell you that you will be missed. God only gave me twenty years to get to know you and that was not enough time. So when I get to heaven I would like you to pencil me in for some catching up time so I can really get to know you. Thanks for excepting me like a son and not just a son-in-law I love you Dad
