Kelly loved spending time with his family, and especially loved being a Grandpa. Although Kelly was not a veteran, he had a high regard and respect for all veterans and the sacrifices they made for this country. He was an avid supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project. Kelly's other love was for sports, he watched them all; especially his all-time favorite team: the Boston Red Sox. Kelly retired from the Sheetmetal Worker's LU 38.
Calling hours will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 2pm – 4pm at McHoul Funeral Home of Fishkill, Inc. 1089 Main Street, Fishkill, NY. A service will begin at 4pm.
Kelly's admiration of veterans was in part inspired by his father's service in the Army during World War II. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Wounded Warrior Project.
