I was a student of Pat Kelley's back in the early 80's. He made the weight training class fun, informative, and productive. What I remember about him was how hard he worked out himself, along with teaching us that controlling the weights going downward was just as important and gave you a better workout.
Praying for his family during this challenging time.

Many good memories with Pat during our Kenwood years. Glad we got to see each other 10 years ago at the 50th 1960 class reunion. Sorry to see you go Pat. Sympathy to the family.

Patrick, I will forever miss you, my good friend and closest of buddies. From back in high school days, through college and then as teachers at Essex and Catonsville Community Colleges, we did have many good times together. You were always ready to lend a hand and back me up when I needed help. Quick to give praise and a gentleman always. Rest well Pat. Hope to see you in a better place. Blotch
