So sorry to hear about my dear friend Jim. We worked together in Indiana and he was a true soldier. I just chatted with Jim last week and Indiana University Basketball was our main subject. What a great lost for the family and friends but a greater place he is going. I loved him like a brother.

It has been said the tested influence and value of a person, especially a parent, can be seen in their children. Mr. James Kelly exemplifies this. Based on my experience with his son, Don, he certainly had a very positive impact. It is evident that instilling important values was an important priority.

Death ends a life, not a relationship. Continue to honor your Dad through your actions. His smile is upon you and Kelly. I love you both and have you in my thoughts and prayers.
