My sincere condolences to the Kell family. Growing up with Dave, I still have such fond memories of JB and Barb treating me like I was part of their family. Even though Dave and I got into a little trouble now and then JB was always there to help guide Dave and I! I guess they had learned a lot with Gary and Mike ahead of us! My life would not be the same without the years spent with the Kell family.Our thoughts and prayers.
