Family-Placed Obituary
JAMES E. KELEHER Age 77, of Boynton Beach, Florida, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, September 5, 2008.

Jim spent his life serving the Lord and others. He was especially dedicated to Sunshine Acres, a fresh air camp for underprivileged children, where he devoted more than 45 years of his life in service. Jim was a precious father, grandfather, husband, brother, and friend to many. Although he will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to have known him, he is now in the presence of Jesus Christ, the center of his life and all he stood for. The funeral service will be held on Sunday, September 7 at 4:00 p.m. at Calvary Chapel, 3190 Hypoluxo Road, Boynton Beach with Pastor George Marse officiating. The family will receive friends at the church from 3:00 p.m. until service time. There will be a reception immediately following the funeral service at the church.

To the Keleher Family,
Imagine the celebration in heaven at Jim's home going. All of his and our family and friends greeting him and rejoicing with him around the throne of our precious Savior & Lord.
He was a co-larorer and lover of Sunshine Acres and because of his many hours of hard work Sunshine Acres is what it is today.
Our love and sympathy goes to Vondale and the family. We know he'll be missed by them and all who knew him.
Love
