Mr. Kelly, I frequently visited your home as a guest/family friend. However, in reality you and Catherine treated me more like another son. Myself, Steve, Karen, Ed and Tony most thoroughly enjoyed your mastery of Italian Cuisine. Specifically, southern or Sicilian foods. I miss your in depth conversations regarding politics and current events. I miss discussing your lengthy knowledge of electrical work, your love of your home and gardening. Also, you were a man who would sacrifice anything for your family, including working another job after long hours as an electrician. Heaven has gained a strong and independent person in Mr. Edward Kelly. God bless you and my most humble condolences to Catherine and the Kelly children/grandchildren. Forever, rest in peace.
