This is Kelly standing next to his boss' Limo. He didn't always look this mean........just when he didn't want to be messed with.
I had been stationed in the military for almost 10 years and had only been able to make it home to see my Mother and Father on leave once during that time. The reason was that I had been stationed in Hawaii with my exwife and two boys, Bobby and Daniel, during this time I also flew alot to places like Japan, Korea, The Philippines, Thailand, and Alaska, It just never seemed like I could ever find the time for us to go home. In 1989, I was stationed at NAS Dallas, Texas and finally found the time to go and visit. Of course, with all my other obligations our visit was a lot shorter then I had wanted. In fact, I was only able to spend about two days with my brother Kelly and his family.
During my tour at Dallas I kept in close contact with Kelly, calling him every weekend, usually it was because my bike had broken down and I needed big brothers help. Kelly had been a motorcycle mechanic with Mr. Salvage Motorcycle Shop in Great Falls, Montana for several years. He knew his bikes inside and out, many times he walked me through the rebuild of carbs or valve adjustments late at night and with out the aid of manuals. Everytime we talked on the phone he mentioned how when I got out of the military he was going to take me on a road trip....first over to Sturgis then down to Texas, so I could show him some of my hang outs, and then back home up through Colorado. I was to be discharged on July 8th, 1991, but Kelly died in April......Needless to say I have never been to Sturgis.......and never will without him...........................
The song playing is Songbird by Fleetwood Mac.
It was one of Kelly's favorite songs
so we felt that it was appropriate to play it at his funeral.
Please sign Kelly's new guestbook.
