Not sure what to say?

I´ve been thinking about Professor Ed Kelly off and on over the past 30 years and most recently over the last few months continuously. I was a student at Quincy College and Ed Kelly was an English Professor of mine. Over and over he told me I was meant to be a writer, not an accountant as was my major. He was the greatest teacher I ever had in my life; my entire life. I recently have given thought and put pen to paper with ideas and such. I´ve always said, I will dedicate my first published...

Dear Uncle Eggie was so many things, it is impossible to put into words. A better family member, friend, teacher, you could not have wished for. I feel so lucky to have known and loved him, and will remember and miss his smile and our conversations always.

Ed always had a smile whenever he was greeting someone. Ed was truly my Brother in Arms which both of us were in the Army. I'll Miss him not being around talking of books we have read and the laughs all of the family had when they were together with him. There's an old saying Old Soldiers Never Die they just fade away and Ed I still have somethings to do but I'll meet you at the first rally point I can. SFC Thomas Burkett

To Know Ed was to Love Him. I am so happy and proud that you were part of our family for 60+ years. No matter when you saw Ed he always greeted you with that beautiful smile and a kind word. Thank you Ed for all the beautiful memories that will live on in each of us in the days to come. So proud to call you my brother-in-law and friend. You were truly one of a kind and loved by all . Love to Elaine, Jen, David and Renee . Rest Easy Ed. Until we meet again. Janet

Requiescat in pace amica meus! Ave at que vale!

"Uncle Ed" was a true Legend in my life. The perfect gentleman, who was always there when you needed him. His dry sense of humor would always brighten up your day. My wife Karen had Ed as a teacher before we met at Quincy College. She has often told me that Ed was hands down the most influential teacher she ever had. Ed was certainly one of the biggest role models in my life growing up, and will always be. We all have so many wonderful memories of you. Those memories will keep your...
