I only met Mr. Kelleher a couple of times, but knowing the wonderful man his son, Dennis, is he must have been an amazing man and father.

Very sad to see this...
Belated prayers and best wishes to your large and wonderful family, each of whom I felt like I 'knew' after spending time with Karen at Bogey's in the early 80's!
I used to occasionally bump into Mr. K. in the Atlanta airport on Sunday nights when I used to fly a lot with Sys. One/EAL. Even though he might be tired from working a ball game that afternoon, he would always have a smile and a kind word.
God Bless all of you...

You are with the Lord now. You are at peace and will be with your loved ones again some day. God Bless, and our deepest sympathies are with you.
Dennis and his family are dear friends of ours. I had the fortune of meeting you and Mrs. Kelleher when I was visiting Dennis back in 2001.

Dear Mrs.Kelleher and family,
When I called my dad he told me of Mr. Kelleher's passing. Please know my family and, especially my dad, is thinking and praying for all of you. My dad so very much wanted to be with you at this time, but he knew the trip would be too much for him. He reminisced about all the good times they shared, such cherished memories. I told him Rita would be at the gate with her arms wide open to welcome Tom home. Imagine the laughs they are sharing again together. I told Dad they will see each other again on the great football field in heaven and be the amazing team they always were and treasured. I remember Dad taking me to Florida when he had a game to officiate and meeting many of you. Dad has offered Masses in Tom's memory and know that the entire Graf family is thinking of you at this sad time.May your memories bring you comfort, and may God bless each of you.

Dear Grace, Dennis and all your family ~
I am so sad to hear of Tom's passing. My heart aches for you and all who knew and loved him. He is one in a million. I cherish a story he once told me about an angel visitation. He was a significant role model for my son and so many of the boys he coached. Sending you my love and prayers...

Dear Aunt Grace and family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Uncle Tom. I'm so grateful l had the opportunity to visit with him and your wonderful family at Aunt Mary's "reunion". I'm sure his Irish spirit, passion for life, devotion to family, numerous strengths and good humor will continue to live on through all of you. Please know you are all in my prayers.

I remember #25 and the way he maintained his integrity. My father, who referee'd professional soccer, admired Mr. K and enjoyed their conversations about the games they loved, their families and the Yorkshire. I send my condolences to the entire family during this tough time. Remember all the fun times...

Tom Kelleher was to prototype of NFL officials. He served in the officiating squad of five Superbowls, most notably as back judge in Superbowl VII, which concluded the undefeated season. You might have hoped he would give the Dolphins the benefit of the doubt, but he never did. He called games as he saw them.
