Attended Kell’s Celebration of Life on 11/5/23 at the Big Falls Inn hosted by Donna DiPasquale. A wonderful event, many friends shared memories about the fun times with Kell. His band The Bristols performed with special guest Rob Fahey and we hoisted a few brews in honor of Kell.

Kell and I used to talk hockey whenever we got together. Miss you hockey nut 

Forever missed dear Kell. I know what you'd say.. "God has me." Rest and praise the Lord! I'm thanking God for knowing you. 

I worked with Kellum at Social Security until my retirement in 2014.

I always enjoyed his sense of humor.  We both liked word play and atrocious puns.  I don't ever remember seeing him without a smile and a kind word or more.  

Rest in peace, my friend!



Kell was the goalie for our foot hockey team.  We played on the tennis courts at RHR Elementary. His mom made the goalie leg pads from some foam rubber purchased at Conkling Foam Center in Highlandtown. He volunteered for this thankless, painful position and was very good at it. We also played on the ice at the Patterson Park Rink, that was a cold place to be in the evenings  in January and February.  This was in the mid to late 1970's.  In between, we spent a lot of time in the local bars and clubs making beer disappear, until we both got married and went our separate ways.  Always good times and lots of laughs when we hung out together.

Sending my condolences to Kellum's family. I remember him as a very sweet soul, liked by many. I met him in junior high, he was a good friend to my foster sister, Cathy.

I worked with Kellum years ago at SSA. He was "One of a Kind" for sure.  Condolences to the Dietz family. RIP Kellum.

So sad to hear of my cousins untimely death. He was always so much fun growing up. Deepest sympathy to all of his family. 💔❤️💔❤️

My condolences to the Dietz family in the loss of Kellum.  I enjoyed working with Kellum in SSA, DCO, OCO, ODO. He was a kind gentleman that talked about his lovely family. May God Bless you all. 

Dear Kellum,
We shared so much in Christian music as our group "Hearts of Praise" traveled locally to minister with Michael, Stevie, Brenda, Wayne n I. It was so enjoyable listening to the beat of you playing your drums keeping our songs right on, your unending humor, your representation of living for Jesus and feeling like we were truly family! I know you are playing for Jesus in Heaven along with Wayne, Mr. Kolar and walking with Jesus on the streets of gold. We will all join you one day and never have to be in pain, grow old or leave each other's presence forever. Rest in perfect peace with our Lord and Savior!! I love you and your family!! 💝

My brother was my best friend. I could always go to him for anything. He was always there for me when I was in school or when I needed personal advice. We had the best times at Baltimore Clippers hockey games or when we were disc jockeys at parties. Bless you dear brother and may you rest in peace.

I worked with Kellum for a few years. He was a very nice and funny guy. It was a pleasure to have known him. Last time I saw Kel was at a concert about a year ago. I would run into him at music events and he was always upbeat with that great sense of humor. Rest in Peace my friend.

Too close to home — RIP Kell, we had a great ride together at SSA, carpooling, rocking out in Crossfire, following the local bands, and trying to meet the ladies. So sorry I didn’t get time to digitize the Crossfire tapes for you… :(

I worked with Kel for years.  He had a great sense of humor.  To this day I tell people stories about him.  My deepest sympathy to his family.
