Talbot was a longtime member of the Associated Builders and Contractors and also enjoyed hunting. He loved baseball and especially his beloved Astros. His heart and soul belonged to Kelly Painting and Decorating for many years. He built the company from the ground up and was very proud that it still bore his name after selling it. He considered his employees friends.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Kelly; sons, Mark Ryan Kelly, Scott Matthew (Erin) Kelly; sister, Betty East; brothers, James (Maudine) Kelly, John (Joan Gordon) Kelly; Gary (Betty) East and granddaughter, Parker Elizabeth Kelly.
