Bob in Buffalo

Bob Kelley, spouse of my sister Carrie and father of my nieces Grace, Meghan, Emily and Carolyn, died last night of cancer.

The last couple years were excruciating for him and his family, and in that sense his passing is a mercy. Which doesn’t make it any easier for those close to him, just more complicated.

He was a complex, good, annoying, intelligent, self-involved, generous and loving man. He’ll be missed.

If you smoke, please stop.

    It is a too-familiar story.  My sympathies go to your sister and her daughters, for their loss and because their need for strength doesn’t end here.

    Yes, if you smoke, please stop.  And if you let your children play in the sun without protecting their exposed skin, please stop that, too.

    So sorry. From the photo he was clearly too young.

    Ah, I’m sorry, Chris, and my sympathies to your family. What a year it’s been. Certainly a good time for a new one to start.
