Patrick Kielty

Dear Kielty family - so very sorry your dad and husband passed away. I remember him as a happy swim dad always supporting his kids and all the swimmers and divers on the JHHS team. Hope you keep each other close and hold onto the good memories. Jo and Margaret Djekovic´s mom, Mary Hahn

Dear Mary Anne and family, I was swimming today and wondered why I haven´t seen Pat at the pool since Memorial Day weekend. I was devastated when someone told me he passed away on 5/31. We had such a nice conversation the weekend before that at Rec pool , and he seemed to be in perfect health, enjoying a swim and friendly as ever to everyone there. This makes me so sad. He loved his family and friends so much. Such a wonderful man. Gone too soon. I will keep him and your family in my prayers....

From 1967 through 1971, I may have seen Pat almost every day. If we weren´t caddying at Beverly seven days a week, Pat was studying at (and I attending) St. Ignatius. In all the years I knew him, he always had a smile and a laugh. Pat moves from "Out Here" to "Up There". Please E B we said "hi".

I am very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. We were both civil engineering students at U. of Illinois, and he was a great mentor during my freshman year. My mind is currrntly flooded with all thise great college memories during our time at the Evans Scholar House. After college we spent a couple of good years working together as young engineers for Kenny Construction. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Pat was a man of great accomplishment. A member of the 1967-1968 St. Sabina Blue Streaks, widely considered the greatest grammar school basketball team in Illinois history. A Hall of Fame caddy and legend at Beverly Country Club. A mentor and inspiration at St. Ignatius. An Evans Scholar at the University of Illinois and a gentleman with a great laugh and sense of humor. You will be missed my friend. Gino Naughton

So sorry to hear of Pats passing. I worked with him on the Stearns Road Project. He was a great Irishman . Prayers sent for his family.

Meg and family, I´m so sorry for your loss. I remember how proud and excited your dad was, when you started in the Illinois Evans house. In sympathy, Kerry Hart (nee Rosean, Illinois `97)

He had a great smile and laugh Always positive

Pat was instrumental in helping the County deliver the Stearns Corridor project on time and within budget. He was good to work with. One of his favorite phrases was "Fear no man build by plan". He will be missed. Our condolences to his family.
