KELLY, Richard Andrew - 76, of Sault Ste Marie went to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and Dale Earnhardt on Race Day Sunday March 5, 2023 after his heart of gold stopped.
Survived by his wife Kim Kelly. Loving father of Joe Kelly (Shari Dewar), Trevor Kelly (Amber Mills) and Heidi Kelly. Proud and devoted Pa to his grandkids Nicholas McCoy, Maija Bishop-Dewar (Robi Gilbert), Meeka Kelly, Piper Kelly, Fynn Kelly, Liam Mills, Cash Rowswell, and Colbie Rowswell. Great GrandPa to Brantley Gilbert.
Beloved brother of the late Bette Lou (late Paul), Bill (Janet), late Tom, late Gerry (Madeline), late Barbara, late Gordy, Lenny (Gail), Eddy (Mary Lou), and the late Florence. He will be forever missed by his brother and sister-in-laws of the Steinke and Catling Families.
Special Uncle Ricky to many nieces and nephews.
Rick was an avid NASCAR fan, loved to tinker in the garage and above all was a devoted family man. He provided for his family while dedicating his career as a service man at the City of Board of works for 30 years. He will be remembered dearly for his sense of humour and strong work ethic that he instilled in his children.
In lieu of flowers or donations, we ask that you take a moment to hug your loved ones and spend precious time with them.
As per Ricky’s wishes, he has gone to “the shake and bake” and a Celebration of life will be held on Monday March 13, 2023 at the Grand Gardens North from 5 pm to 8 pm.
