Not sure what to say?

I can't believe that it's been 11 years since you left us. I miss you and our other siblings every day! Until we meet again, please know that I love you!

He was the prime example of what a good teacher should be. He was one of a kind!

Graduation

Saddened and a bit lost...a year has past since Tim did the same. It's been difficult and lonely for those of us still here. Nothing can fill the gap he left - no one else here seems to have has his wisdom, insight, mercy and grace. His guidance and counsel are terribly missed by his family. And his highly intellectual wit is missed by the world. We love you, Tim, and miss you being here...

I worked with Tim at VDM for many years. He was an amazing man. He always had a big smile on his face. He brightened everyones day. He will always be in my thoughts. Peace be with him. Carole Burnett

I have, in my possession, an interesting hand written letter by Tim dated 1988. I'd be more than happy to share with family and friends. The letter is to me, a first year teacher at the time, giving wonderful advice. It's something that should be published abroad.

My dear, dear friend Tim,
I miss our Sunday night dinners and our converstaions sprinkled with humor and lots of your dry wit. Carrow's will never be the same, it was your place!

Michael and Sky, I know you both have an empty place in your hearts with the loss of your father and grandfather. We talked about both of your so many times. Sky, you were the apple of your grandpa's eye. He was so proud of you and so enjoyed the times you spent with him here in Palm Springs. According to...

Tim Kelly was a brilliant man with a tremendous sense of dry humor. Well read, well versed and well spoken and a true friend that I am proud to be associated with. He loved his family and as grandparents talk about the joy of having our wonderful grandchildren. Sky to Tim was the epitome of happiness. He felt honored to have such a wonderful Grandson. He was proud of his son and his determination.
Tim was certainly be missed, but remembered.
