    He was the last of the good guys. My brother-in-law will forever live in our hearts, mind and spirit. His unyielding love for his wife, children and family could be seen in every facet of his daily life...the last of a rare and dying breed. Rest in peace, Kelly.

    When I think of Kelly (and Kim) I think of laughter and good food. I knew Kelly as a grill master with his world's best ribs, a guy who also liked to talk gardens (he had a beautiful one) and an all around nice guy. You'll be missed by many.
