Not sure what to say?

I only met Mr. Kelleher a couple of times, but knowing the wonderful man his son, Dennis, is he must have been an amazing man and father.

Very sad to see this...
Belated prayers and best wishes to your large and wonderful family, each of whom I felt like I 'knew' after spending time with Karen at Bogey's in the early 80's!
I used to occasionally bump into Mr. K. in the Atlanta airport on Sunday nights when I used to fly a lot with Sys. One/EAL. Even though he might be tired from working a ball game that afternoon, he would always have a smile and a kind word.
God Bless all of you...

You are with the Lord now. You are at peace and will be with your loved ones again some day. God Bless, and our deepest sympathies are with you.

Dennis and his family are dear friends of ours. I had the fortune of meeting you and Mrs. Kelleher when I was visiting Dennis back in 2001.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My deepest sympathy at this time of great sorrow for the loss of your beloved and dear Tom. He will always be missed, remembered and loved by all who knew him. Nellie Baeza Cruz (Pearland, TX)

I told him Rita would be at the gate with her arms wide open to welcome Tom home. Imagine the laughs they are sharing again together. I...

Dear Grace, Dennis and all your family ~

I am so sad to hear of Tom's passing. My heart aches for you and all who knew and loved him. He is one in a million. I cherish a story he once told me about an angel visitation. He was a significant role model for my son and so many of the boys he coached. Sending you my love and prayers...
