Peter Kelley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 16, 2007.

KELLEY - Free from all the pain he had been suffering from in recent years, Peter G. Kelley, aged 72, died peacefully on October 13, 2007. At this very moment, he is undoubtedly in heaven playing setback with his card loving parents, Harold and Ferne Kelley. Peter began working at the tender age of nine when he emptied wastebaskets at the Lowell Public Grade School for something like a dollar a month. Shortly after his 18th birthday he became an installer for the Western Electric Company (now Alcatel-Lucent). He remained with the company until retiring in 1983. Peter was past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus Council #389 and a member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish for 41 years. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Carol Kelley (Czerwinski); three sons, Timothy and Patrick of Grand Rapids, and Daniel of Odessa, TX; three brothers, Charles (Yvonne) Kelley of Traverse City, Steve Kelley of Newport News, VA, and Darroll Kelley of Lowell, MI; brothers-in-law, Gene (Phyllis) Czerwinski of Grand Rapids, Terry (Diane) Czerwinski of Highland Park, IL and Tom Czerwinski of Grand Rapids; many nieces and nephews and two special cousins, June Ireland of Portland, IN and Louis VanderMeer of Comstock Park, MI. Cremation has taken place. The Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday morning at 12:00 noon at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church. Burial in Rosedale Cemetery. Relatives and friends may meet his family at the church on Friday from 11:00 a.m. until the Mass begins. Contributions in his memory may be made to Sacred Heart of Jesus Building Fund.

Dear Carol, boys and Charles,
Pete and I have been friends since we were really little kids as our parents were good friends when they were young. We were class mates for 13 years and did a lot of "dancing". Pete, you really could dance! Pete had such pride in always wanting to look his best. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Carol & Family,

I was a classmate of Pete in the lower grades in Lowell. Even though we have not had contact with each other for years, my fondest memory of Pete is when we played football in the yard behind the gas station. This was when we were about 10-11 years old.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. It must be a great comfort to know that Pete is in a better place now and not suffering.
