My most sincere condolences to the family for the lost of this great man. Kelly is the most caring and intelligent man I have ever been around. He sure did love anything mechanical and figuring out how it ran and how to make it run better. I am very blessed to have him as my friend and even more blessed that he considered me as his friend. Semper Fi my brother.

My prayers for Kelly and the family. Worked with Kelly and even got to tinker with the remake of the old ford out in Arlington. I will miss that sense of laugh and sense of humor. It is not an exaggeration to say the man could fix anything. Feel fortunate for the brief time I could call him my friend.
