William Mitchell "Bill" Kelly

Bill had a tough outer shell with a gooey inside. He provided me with my management foundational skills which helped me grow as a manager and eventually become a director. During that time he also cried with me when my husband and I found out our IVF treatment didn’t work. He later supported and celebrated our adoption. Wish I could have talked with him one last time before he departed.

Billy was a good friend whom I missed these past few years. I will always cherish our friendship and the memories of playing golf, having a cocktail and debating what conference was better SEC or Little 10. RIP my friend!!

Bill, unfortunately we had not seen each other much since our TDS-CS days. I always remember your support and encouragement as our organization morphed in the TDS world. Rest easy, until we meet again, I looking forward to catching up with you.

Met Bill on a basketball court. He was both intense and very caring. We bonded during both of our post divorces … lots of Thursday’s nights relaxing via conversation & laughter … lots of league bb games playing very competitive & unselfish teamwork. He had a big smile and even bigger heart! Missed talking with you buddy … we will get together, catch up & lace up for more games!! Dave Lanphear
