Eamon was a wonderful mentor and friend. He did so much to build Tulane and beyond. Fond memories of our time together.

Dr. Kelly did all that he expected to do and all that was not expected. His was the fullest life possible. He leaves behind a great university together with genuine caring and kindness. From a former grateful Tulane graduate.
