I first met Ed when I was a young man at the Shadyside boys club. I always thought I wanted to be like Ed. I never was but few were. He was a real person and you don't meet many people as honest in your lifetime. He loved his daughter immensely and spoke fondly of her frequently.

What a great person and always full of information. He knew exactly what was fluttering in my chimney when I told him my dilemma. His stories were always engaging. I will remember Ed and his family in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Such sad news. I worked with Ed at Beechwood. Generous with his time and talents, I admired his friendliness and his clogs!! I had not seen him for some years on the trails, and had hoped for his return. My thoughts and prayers are with friends and family--I'm sure you have so many great memories..

Dear Family of Ed Kelley,
I was so sorry to hear the sad news. I was part of the old high school "gang" in Pittsburgh. I am certain Ed is remembered very fondly by many people. May he rest in peace.
My prayers and sympathy are with you.
