James E. Kelley

I grew up just blocks from Jim on Crystal st. near South School. While I was never a popular kid in school, Jim always treated me with kindness. I remember him well and his brother Ed. They always included me and made me feel special. May God bless you, your family, your legacy and your memory.

Saddened to hear of James passing. Friends in school, but more than that. James set an example athletically that peers would strive to match. Proud to be able to call him a friend. Shared many firsts together. My heart felt condolences to the Kelley Family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jim´s death. He has helped me out a few times with trimming and advice. I took pictures of his work but still preferred he do it. I am glad I got to meet him and learn from him. I am so sorry for your loss.

Lisa, Loren, & Jack. I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was all that (his obituary) and more. I know my brief message cannot sum up a lifetime I´ve known Jim. He really was a great friend who was always there for anyone in need. I miss him dearly and I wish you peace.

While not having seen Jim since high school, I remember him as being a really great guy who was always very nice to everyone. RIP, Jim, and condolences to your family.
