I first met Bob through my Mum when she was a director at Gateway. She spoke very highly of a young man she had come across. Throughout the next few months I started hearing the name Bob Kelly everywhere I went. Everybody speaking in the same high regard as my Mother. For those who never had an opportunity to meet him, Bob was a extraordinary person and I pray that his son will grow up to be the same strong man. Sincerely, Elaine F. Cook & family

Dear Pat & Bob,
I am a daughter of Bill Slattery and I have just learned about Robert's passing. I live in California so I was unable to attend the services held for him this morning. However, I do want to express my condolences on your loss. I have been thinking about you and your family all day and how sad it is to loose Robert. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy for the Kelly family. Bob will be dearly missed.
A stand-up gentleman, a wonderful and talented musician, enduring friend and a larger than life personality. The world is poorer with his departure.

To the Kelly family with deepest sympathy from myself and my family;

I have known Bobby since our teens. He was a kind and gentle soul who never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He was sincere and honest. He was one of my dearest friends and I will miss his company, great laugh, and his infectious smile deeply. The Lord is truly receiving an angel for his kingdom.

Bob is at total Peace with the Lord.
Some of my fondest memories are when Bob & I would venture north to his "old neighborhood" to shoot pool with his friends. Both our games improved as the weeks went on. We had many great evenings at the table I will always remember.
