Denis will forever be a remembered soul. He was loving, caring, kind and compassionate. I looked up to him with such honor. He treated everyone he knew with kindness and compassion especially his family and wife Therese. he will be dearly missed. I loved him too

Dear Therese, We just recently learned of Denis' passing and feel compelled to write. Therese was most compassionate at the times of both of my parents' deaths. Although we never knew Denis personally, he had to be a fine, high quality person who valued family and education. His Uncle Frank was my barber years ago and I went to school with his cousin Mary for 8 years. Therese we hope and are confident that you will feel the comfort and support you deserve from your fine children and many grandchildren. Our sincere prayers are with you during these most painful and difficult times.

My deepest condolences. Pa Kelly was a gentle and a very honorable man. He was a great “step-father” to me during my difficult times in college. His advice and care from the Kelly family saved my life. Thank you Pa Kelly. I could never call him by his first name, not because of my culture, but out of respect.

So sorry to hear of Denny's passing. We will miss him very much. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Terry and Family,
Thank you for letting me know about Denny. You have been so loving and strong through this health problem. I have admired you and Denny as such a loving couple, devoted to each other. I know how difficult it is to lose a loved one and want to know you are in my prayers. As soon as my health allows me, I want to have you over. God gives you strength to go through these sad days, but He has Denny safe in His arms. Love, Nadyne Balke

Dear Kelly Family:
I was sadden to hear of Denis' passing. He was my boss during my early years at Pillsbury when we were both at the Totino's Fridley plant. He was a fair man with a wonderful sense of humor. May you find peace.
