Our sincere condolences to Mr. Kelley's family.
Quincy (a Golden Retriever) and I loved visiting him through the Fairfax Pets on Wheels program. He was always kind and gracious. A true gentleman. He will be sorely missed.

George had such a generous spirit. I am so thankful to have had him in my life. I learned a lot from him in the way he embraced life. He truly loved people. I will never forget the sound of his laughter. When I think of George, I think of him surrounded by friends and surrounded by laughter.

We saw Mr. Kelley a number of times during our time as part of the Pets on Wheels program. He was always a joy to be around, and I think we loved seeing him almost as much as our cat did. Condolences to his family and friends, and especially to Scooby, whom we heard so much about.

George may you rest in peace. Henry, I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm sure he's now in a better place. I know these these past years were not easy for him. I will keep him in my prayers.
