JOHN KELTY
John was a jack of all trades and a master of many. He could lay bricks in the patio, he could etch a picture on a mirror, he could use the sewing machine to hem his jeans, he could give good advice on your investments.
He didn't know a stranger and was always there for his friends. He was as generous with his feelings as he was with his time and his money.
We will remember all the good times -- the picnics, the card games, being wiped out at Monopoly and the time spent just talking.
John showed us that a positive attitude and laughter are good for the spirit.
We are proud to say that John Kelty was our friend.

JOHN KELTY
John was a jack of all trades and a master of many. He could lay bricks in the patio, he could etch a picture on a mirror, he could use the sewing machine to hem his jeans, he could give good advice on your investments.
He didn't know a stranger and was always there for his friends. He was as generous with his feelings as he was with his time and his money.
We will remember all the good times -- the picnics, the card games, being wiped out at Monopoly and the time spent just talking.
John showed us that a positive attitude and laughter are good for the spirit.
We are proud to say that John Kelty was our friend.

JOHN KELTY
John was a jack of all trades and a master of many. He could lay bricks in the patio, he could etch a picture on a mirror, he could use the sewing machine to hem his jeans, he could give good advice on your investments.
He didn't know a stranger and was always there for his friends. He was as generous with his feelings as he was with his time and his money.
We will remember all the good times -- the picnics, the card games, being wiped out at Monopoly and the time spent just talking.
John showed us that a positive attitude and laughter are good for the spirit.
We are proud to say that John Kelty was our friend.
(John C. Kelty, 65, of Santa Ana died April 30.)
