The world has lost a wonderful man. To our family, a great brother to mom (Dorothy) and uncle to Paula, Mark, Greg and Marta. We will miss him and hold mom while she grieves. Aunt Doris and "all" we will never forget our Uncle Jim.

To the Kelly Family.... Your hearts are heavy but know that as an Uncle and big brother to my Mother Dorothy, and myself, brothers Mark and Greg, sister Marta, that he was kind, generous and loving to us. He had such a positive impact on our lives growing up with the Kelly Family and he lives in our hearts as we travel to our own destiny. With love, admiration and respect.

Ever the Marine, Jim gave life his all & his accomplishments continued to build. From exemplary military service to raising a great family to building a great company that advised corporate giants. I knew him through his kids & through helping with the great porch screen replacement adventure, but it seemed we'd been friends for years. Jim will be missed. Semper Fi!
I will love you always

Jim was a hardworking, dependable, loyal man who enjoyed life and was quick with a joke. He represents the best of his generation. While saddened by his loss, I am grateful that I benefited from his stories of his past while he modeled how a man should live in the present.

How you lived your life and the things you taught me, guided me to be the person I am today. While not perfect, I learned there are no more important things in life than dedication to family, honesty, and to help those less fortunate than me regardless of the cost to myself. You sacrificed much and were deeply rewarded following those principles throughout your life. You were my hero and I will miss you tremendously. Kiss and a hug...
