Neil, Jeff and Nancy,
I was very saddened to hear of Brian's passing. He was a good guy with a great smile and lots of talent. Bri was a guy who certainly marched to his own drummer. I have great memories of the good times we had together. Rest in peace my friend.....you know what I'm saying?

Honestly out of the blue I thought of BK the other day and smiled. He was one of the guys I wanted to grow up to be like. Full of life at Abenaqui with his infectious smile and hearty laugh. Always a funny line or story to tell. He just made you feel good. One of the great people that made golf (and life) so much better.
RIP BK and prayers for The Kelley's.

Neil, Jeff & Nancy -
So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. It was way to sudden and way too soon. I'll always remember the many rounds of golf we played and the fun times we had off the course. He had a great sense of humor and has left many happy memories. May God bless him.

Brian embodied the enthusiasm, high spirit, class, accomplishment and personal touch that is the hallmark of his entire family. His Divine Spirit was remarkable, is sorely missing and continues on with those Great Kelley Family members with us today. To the Kelley Clan, From all of the Bean Family, God Bless.
