Kelly, I'll always remember the great times shared with you playing on Jeff's coed softball team. You always greeted me with a big hug and plenty of laughs during the season. Thanks for being a special soul.

There will be an empty barstool as well as a place in my heart but my mind will only be filled with your smile and laughter. I will cherish that forever and now you will be looking through the skylight you put in my bathroom (ha)! So I know many times a day looking up will remind me of you and you will be missed
by all!Until I see you again Kel bob!!!

Others have said it all and probably better that me. Its been a long time my friend, but you were never forgotten especially when I inquired about my California friends. Kelbob was always there for you, just ask. I remember the many times you helped me and others and always with a postive attitude and Infectious laugh.
May we tilt another one on the other side my friend.
My condolences to Brian and the McPherson family.

Kelly, even though we had lost touch over the years, I will always remember your kindness, your laughter, and your friendship.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and with the many people you touched over the years. You will be missed.

Kelly, you have been a wonderful friend for more than 30 years. You always gave of yourself whenever anyone needed a helping hand, and you always had a positive perspective on life, a glass half full attitude, which was always refreshing. Even when things were not going as planned, you always had a positive outlook. Your heart and soul will be dearly missed. See you on the other side my friend!!!!

To the McPherson family, There is not a square inch of our home that Kelbob did not work on. He was a gentle, kind, sweet man who came to work every day at 7:15am. He loved our animals, loved our home, and we loved him. He was the one person who was always smiling, everyday. He had positive things to say to everyone. My kids were devastated when they learned he passed. We all miss him and will be forever grateful for the goodness he brought into our lives. You must be a wonderful family. Love, Monte, Kathleen, Jessica and Karly...The Kelly family

Dear Loved Ones of Kelly,

Never was there a time when I was with Kelly that I did not receive a big hug, hear genuine laughter, and feel affection. The world has lost a compassionate soul, but his love, laughter and kindness lives on in all of us who knew him. Love, Maureen
