Mr. Schelly was one of the most admired attorneys I have ever known. In 1996 when I started practicing law, he taught me how to practice immigration law and always was on my side when I needed help.
May God bless his soul.

I will always remember my brother Ralph for his optimism and warm personality. No matter how bad the weather was he always said "It's a wonderful day in Chicago. He enjoyed his work as a lawyer and would do his best to help his clients. He enjoyed playing hand ball and swimming and loved to sing for people. His outlook on life was always optimistic no matter what happened. He will be missed and remembered by family, friends and all those he helped. With love, dear brother.

My Uncle Ralph was always one of my "favorite" uncles. His visits to see us in Los Angeles were always a treat. In the 1950's he took me, my sister Jeanie and cousin Judy to Disneyland which had recently opened. What a thrill! Over the years I always cherished his visits which were filled with love and laughter. He was a unique and charming guy and will be greatly missed.
With love,
Bonnie
