So sad to hear of John's passing. He was a good family man who along with his wife Peggy raised a good family. Fond memories from the early 1980's when he and his wife entrusted me driving the family Chevy Suburban to pick up supplies for the sub shop and ice cream store as well as playing Pac-Man and Donkey Kong against Flatsy and Swog. May John rest in Peace and may the Kelley family find solace during this difficult time. God Bless!
