In 1997, Kelly, Judy and their sons moved to Jenks, Oklahoma where Kelly worked for Building Specialties in Tulsa, Oklahoma until his death.

Kelly was a friend to everyone who knew him. He had a huge heart along with a huge hug for all. He had a special love for his extended family, friends, music and all of Gods animals. Kelly was a talented singer/songwriter and guitarist who played locally in Western New York and in his adopted home in Oklahoma. He performed at countless weddings and funeral for family and friends and considered that as one of the most important gifts he could provide people he cared about. He always has a song in his heart and on his lips. We have all been graced to have had him in our lives.
