I was so very sad to hear of Don's passing yesterday when my Mom called me. I look back very fondly on the times our families used to spend together at y our house in Dracut and at the beach with the Lupiens.
Rest easy now Don - say hello to all our friends who have gone before you, especially your brother-in-law and my Father's best friend, Ziggy.
Deepest sympathies to the whole Kelleher Family - he's never gone as long as he's in our hearts.

To all of Dons family and many friends,
We want to express our deepest condolences. It is a sad time for you all. Don was a wonderful Police Officer, and would want you to be as strong a man as he was. He above all fought the good fight. Now he is at peace, pain free and meeting up with others he cared deeply for that went before him.You will all meet again at Heavens gate, until then remember the many good memories through the years.
RIP Don

To Karen and the Kelleher Family: I met Mr. K 20 years ago while vacationing with the Orbine family in Sebago and, within 20 seconds, I learned what the definition of a true Red Sox fan is. I have fond memories of my baseball conversations with Mr. K. He was a warm, funny, engaging man. When I visit Fenway Park, I see a lot of people just like Don Kelleher- passionate Red Sox fans. But, I always tell myself, there was also one Don Kelleher. Rest in peace, Mr. K. Jack Curry.

To the Kelleher family: Your Dad was a true inspiration in my life. I have the BEST memories of our Summers in Maine and our visits in NJ and Dracut. I will always remember that twinkle in his eye and how his smile would light up a room! My Dad still claims he was a better horse-shoe pitcher than your Dad...but he was in awe of Don's strength and courage. He will be forever in our hearts! God speed.
