My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)

Mr. Kelly was my 1st football coach at OLOR. In 1980 I was in 4th grade. He called me "Stump" because I was so short and stocky. I don't remember seeing him much after 4th grade but I was called "Stump" through 8th grade. Even though I only knew him a short time and it's been over 35 years, he made an impression on me. So I was sad to hear the news this morning. My father had just happened to read it in the Sun-Times and called me. My condolences to the entire family.
