C. Kelly Kidder

We are sorry to hear of Kelly's passing. He was a great guy , and will be dearly missed.

BIll Denno and I met Kelly at Central Michigan University in 1959
And became roommates. WE almost at once became close friends and as time went on, I recognized Kelly as a man of
Conviction, honor, faith, love and concern for his fellow man.
Through the years The Hoitengas, Dennos and Kidders spent quality time together. Kelly will be greatly missed by all of us.
It is with great sorrow that we cannot be with you in person,
But know we will be there in spirit.

Kidder Family, please know that Kelly's GRPS family is praying for you and wishing you peace. He was my first "real" boss and he instilled a confidence that I never knew I had. We are sorry for your loss. He was quite a guy!

I had the privilege off working for Kelly Kidder. He was my boss mentor, and Director of Speech Pathology in GRPS. Kelly was someone who made you believe in yourself and take risks. As a result he had such deep respect from his employees as a man who had great integrity and calmness in difficult situations. May your family be filled with grace and healing during this difficult time.

So sad. What a kind and wonderful person. To me Kelly was the perfect boss and a true friend. He made so many contributions to the field of speech pathology and those of us who had the honor of working with and for him were blessed. He will be missed.

We have so many memories to share its hard to know where to begin. The Hoits and Kidders and Dennos go back to college days, with so many card games and golf and casino times plus hours of solving the problems of raising kids not to mention lots of bragging times about each child and grandchild. Kelly's passing leaves a hole in our hearts. Please know that we are there with you in spirit and are so sad to not be able to come and give you all a hug. To Kelly: Well done! You were a good...

Being a neighbor and friend with Kelly and Rosie at the lake was a memorable time in Jerry and my lives. We both raised kids on the lake and had so many things in common. He has probably gotten together with Mike Barrett, Rosie, Kim and Jerry for one of their old hootenannies that was a regular Friday and Saturday night ritual.

Sorry for your loss.
