We are sadden by Kelly's passing. He was always kind. Kelly was smart, a dedicated husband, father, co-worker and outdoorsman. He will be missed, as Networks and Communications will not be the same without him. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Sad. Kelly is one of the most innovative data networks minds ever. His hunting stories were exceptional as well. Keep the automation working on those pearly gates...
