Well my dear friend, John.....
 He always made me smile, just with the sparkle in his gorgeous eyes. He wouldn’t ever even have to speak. I first met him at Bingo.  Besides his being the best caller that ever existed, during cleanup, he would move the large dumpster into the corridor so we could throw the used papers and trash, obviously.  Well, when he would lift the lids of the dumpsters, he would Just smash it onto the leaves and branches on the tree that wwas growing behind it. It was hard for me to watch it happen and I would comment or criticize his action, saying he was going to damage it. He cracked me up cuz his explanation was that it made the tree stronger and grow faster.  Now that was years ago.  I still work at that bingo hall and every week I look at That tree and it is the most luscious, flourishing tree on the school property.  Every time I use that trash bin, I chuckle in  disbelief of how right he was.  The last time I saw him he even asked me lhow the tree/ bush was  and we both laughed about it!  Love that man! Will ALWAYS be a part of my heart.

First I’ll say how very sorry I am for the Kelley family’s loss!  My deepest condolences!
One of my fondest memories of John would be when he would call the company that Linda and I worked at, to speak to her!  Usually I was first answering the phones.  John was such s kidder; he’d try to disguise his voice on a regular basis asking to speak to Linda in AP.  I’d always start laughing and say “Hi John, how the heck are you?”  He’d start laughing as well!  We’d sometimes talk about how his beloved Dodgers were doing!  John always had a big smile on his face when he’d come to take Linda to lunch, have a quick chat or when I’d would go see my “neighbors “!!
RIP John, you’ll forever be in my thoughts and your loved ones as well!

John haf a different way of teaching you things. When I went to work for him he would show you how to do something once then he'd ask you to do it. He'd sit there watching you not saying a word. Then when you try to make it work and it didn't hed ask well what did you do? He didnt care if you made the mistake he would say something like its only a piece of drywall or what ever you were working with. He would let you struggle then tell you what you did wrong. He was a very patient man. I never saw him get angry even if i deserved it. Ill miss you so much.

I will always remember Uncle Johnny as a quiet, concerned man. Always close to family, and loved gatherings. He wasn’t my “real” Uncle, but that didn’t seem to matter to him. He always seemed happy to see me and my family. God blessed us thru him and I am so happy my Uncle Tom’s brother was part of my growing up memories. Love to you Aunt Linda, Carrie, Jimmy and family. 

We all know he loved his companion... more concerned that she looked good in the picture then he did. Lol and I can still hear him saying-  oh be pretty for the picture
