Dear Chris, Dr.Kelly & Family, I am so sorry to hear of Mr.Kelly's passing. I think of him often, especially at this time of year- when "the golden rod is yellow and the leaves are turning brown and the trees in apple orchards with fruit are bending down".

Sorry to read of your dad passing. He was a good man. I can remember Jim and his Dad playing catch at the side of your West St house on summers nights.
Also playing for hours in the fields across the street from your house, up on Blueberry Hill and in the cow pastures with Jimmy and his dog “Boots”. It seems like yesterday.
Fond memories of the The CYO basketball teams and Little League games with your Dad coaching the Colts against my team - Mr. Moore and the Seals.
We had a wonderful childhood - didn’t we? I feel sorry for the children of today – they don’t know what they missed
