Mr. Kelley was such a joy ! I worked in Cardiac Rehab when I first became acquainted with him. He would tell me stories about grandchildren and life. We would laugh and always shared a hug.
I will miss seeing him in Cardiology but, I know that he is now celebrating life with Jesus. May his integrity and example of a Godly man live on through each of you.

He was a great neighbor and friend. Always willing to help. Great family man and a devoted husband to his wife Pat. He was a good Dad and Granddaddy to his family. We will miss him and his smiling face and know he suffered a lot towards the end. He and Pat loved the Lord and was faithful to serve Him and our prayers are with you Pat and your family. It is good to know that this is not the end, it is we will see you when we get to Heaven and all of those that we loved that went before us and who knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. What a day that will be and it can't come soon enough for me to be out of this old world and be at home with the Lord and all the ones that I loved are there waiting for me. I just want to ask you that are reading this "Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
