Sincere condolences to Ann Marie and the family.

Bill will be missed. His mischievous smile, the gleam in his eyes, his ever slow slight stirring of a hornet´s nest or his enjoyment of being a gadfly will be missed. His direction to a waitress to make sure his coffee was boiling hot or to take back an entree will be missed.
Bye Bill.

Sending my sincere condolences to the Kelly Family. Bill made New City a better place. I will always remember his warm hello, always smiling and genuine. I ran into him at ShopRite in Manasquan a couple of years ago. I told him My Mother, Helen was fan of his. We had a nice chat about Rockland County and New City, the way life used to be......Heaven gained a Special Angel. John 8:12

27 Beachfront will greatly miss all of our interactions with "Grandpa Kelly!" What an incredible man who always made you feel so important while conversing with him. Loved his stories and "Hey, where you going?" on our many daily trips back and forth to our house! How he loved his family...with his grandkids circled up around him on the beach! North End will not be the same.

My sincere & heartfelt condolences to Ann Marie&all the Kelly children. I was honored& blessed to know Bill Kelly & may God hold him in the Palm of His Hands for all Eternity. Rest in Peace Bill.

Our hearts are broken for the Kelly family. Judge Kelly was an excellent judge, family man and church goer. Eternal rest. The Rippa Family [New City]

My condolences to the Kelly family. Having known Bill for many years (he vouched to the Appellate Division for my application to the bar) his wit, humor, knowledge and friendship will be greatly missed. Bill always had a story to tell. We also miss his fairness, integrity and common sense on the bench. My sincere sympathy.

Bill Kelly was a gentleman who always treated those who appeared before him (attorney or layperson) with respect and dignity. Over his many years on the Bench, Judge Kelly never forgot how hard it was to be a practicing lawyer. He was a genuinely friendly man who would go out of his way to greet you with a smile and a handshake. He could expound on a legal case or the outcome of a sporting event with equal measures of enthusiasm. My sincere condolences to his dear Ann Marie (the "Commish") and the entire Kelly family.

Bill was one of the good guys. Always a smile and a warm hello. A role model for younger attorneys both prosecution and defense. I remember him well. Frank Apicella

My deepest condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.

May you rest in Peace.

Judge Bill Kelly was a good family man, legal scholar, outstanding public servant and good friend who will be missed. Paul Adler, Esq.

As a retired Deputy Sheriff in Rockland County, I remember Judge Kelly as a fair and balanced Judge who showed concern and compassion in his Court. Judge Kelly was well admired and respected by those who knew him and those who received his direction and guidance in and out of his Courts. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. He will surely be missed.

Bill was a great man and friend, always big smile and ask need anything. Will be missed.
