I had the privilege of getting to know Jim when he became associated with the Fenton firm. I was shocked to learn of his death when I saw a reference to it in the Bar Journal. I know he will be missed by so many. Please accept my condolences.

I was a substitute teacher on Feb. 12, 1951 for one hour when Jimmy was in first grade. I asked the class if they knew what great person was born on Feb. 12. Expecting the answer "Abraham Lincoln," I was delighted to see all the hands up. They all knew: "Jimmy Kelley, and he's having a birthday party right after school!" As the years progressed,Jimmy became my piano pupil, excelling in lessons and recitals at Rosary School. I now live at our Motherhouse in Sinsinawa, WI, and still teach piano! I have never forgotten "Jimmy's" birthday! Sr.Rosa,O.P.

Jim was a leader in the class of 1962 at Bishop McGuinness HS and one of the factors that has kept us so close as a class.

As a class member, I will never forget his amazing barefooted high jumps!

Many thanks to his wife Sue, who took such great care of him and allowed him to shepherd us through our most recent class reunion. Take care Sue.
