Kelley Family,
My wife and I were neighbors of Rose & Jim at Point Breeze during the 80's & 90's. They were the best neighbors, always helpful and always happy. We shared a lot of campfires and a lot of meals during the "Point Breeze Times". Made a lot of good memories.
Due to the weather, (we live in Rochester),we couldn't attend the wake or funeral so we send our thoughts and prayers to the family of our old friend Jim. 

Sincerely,
        Jerry & Sharon Rebmann

Kathy, Carol, and Karen. To say your father will be missed is an understatement. Living out of state made it hard to see family as much as I wanted to. When we were able to be together it was fun talking to Uncle Jim and our shared love of softball and baseball. The other thing I loved at our family get togethers was watching our dads talking. They truly respected each other and shared common bonds, the love of their wives, sisters Connie and Rose, their service to our country and most importantly the love of their families! Two great men from the greatest generation. The last of my aunts and uncles, you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the three of you and your families. God bless. 
Love your cousins
Tom and Jodi Krajacic

Our heartfelt condolences to the Kelley family. My experience with Mr. Kelley was through my dad's friendship and co working relationship at  the Donavan state office building . Mr. Kelley was always so kind and friendly, we would often visit him at his other job as a Buffalo Firefighter stationed at the Ganson  street firehouse. You couldn't find a nicer person.
Often he would give us a ride on the firetruck and that kindness was never forgotten. It helped to steer me into my career as a Buffalo Firefighter. It was a such an honor to have him attend my graduation at the training bureau 1988.
May he rest in peace.
