KELLY
JOSEPH P.
Age 88, Dunedin, FL, formerly of East Brady, died Monday, August 21, 2017 at Suncoast Hospice. Born April 9, 1929 in Pittsburgh, he was the son of Joseph P. and Sophia B. (Swiderski) Kelly. On May 9, 1950, Joe married the former Alice B. McGinn. She preceded him in death on April 22, 1996. A WWII US Navy Veteran, he was a recipient of the WWII Victory Medal and the American Area Campaign Medal. He was a member of the American Legion Post #488 in Bradys Bend. Joe retired as a machinist from Daman Industries in Bradys Bend. Joe was a former member of St. Eusebius Roman Catholic Church in East Brady where he served on the Parish Council. He was the co-founder of the East Brady Quarterback Club and was also a member of the United Steelworkers of America Local 7378. "Words cannot possibly describe how much we loved our father and how deeply heartbroken our entire family is. He was an awesome example and taught all of us how to live life, represent the Kelly family and how to treat others respectfully. We are the men we are today because of the love that both Mom and Dad showed us and taught us how to love people. They are symbols of where "Kelly Tough" came from; their strength and courage guides us though this journey of life. They made sure that we understood how important family is; that bond can never be broken. More importantly, both Mom and Dad instilled in us their faith in Jesus Christ and for that we are eternally grateful. Someday, we will join Mom, Dad, Hunter and our loved ones in Heaven. Just remember what they believed, "Families are Built on Love and Faith." A special thanks to Carol Cousins for the all the love and support she gave dad over the years; along with all those that loved and cared for him." He is survived by six sons, Patrick J. and wife, Trish of Richmond VA, Edward P. and wife, Nanci of Houston TX, Raymond J. and wife, Pamela of Richmond VA, James E. and wife, Jill of Orchard Park, NY, Daniel J. and wife, Kathleen of Amherst NY, and Kevin P. and wife, Charlene of Wheatfield, NY; 14 grandchildren, Sean, Brian, Matt, Christian, Allison, Erin, Camryn, Chad, Casey, Zac, Connor, Dylan, Mitchell and Faith; five great- grandchildren, Aubrey, Ryland, Christopher, Savanah and McKenzy.

My sincere condolences to the whole Kelly Family. I have many memories of your dad and your mom. I grew up next door to you all when you lived in Millvale. Both were sweet and friendly neighbors. Remember taking the twins for walks to help give your mom a break!
I know how much you will miss your dad as it will be hard to go on without him. Blessings to you all and I wish you much peace as you journey through this time.

Sincerely,
Janet Soss Lowry

Many fond memories of Joe during my youth, he encouraged many of the Brady boys to participate and excel in sports. The one thing I always admired was regardless of rain or sweltering heat as soon as he got off work from Damian's, he attended every single football practice that we had and would always give positive encouragement regardless who you were. He supported all of the Bulldogs. RIP
