I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear husband and father. I enjoyed our many years of working together, particularly are lunches at Max Amore this past year.

To the Kelley Family

I am extremely saddened to learn about Tim's passing. I work for Union Gas Limited in Ontario Canada and got to know Tim over the last number of years through our mutual involvement in the natural gas indutry. Tim was always a gentleman and it was always clear that family meant everything to him.

Tim will be missed by all who knew him.

Dear Cynthia, Blaine and Carson,

We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Tim was a great person and fun to be around. His leadership and friendship will be tremendously missed.

He reached out to my son, also a cancer patient, and gave him some insight into what to expect from chemo. I will be eternally grateful to Tim for such.

Sincerely,

Phil Ribbeck and Family
