“Mr Kelly left a lasting impact within me, that has carried all of these years. Many of the staff at Holy Name were closer to me than most, having my mom working there. Mr Kelly was definitely one of them. His infectious laugh and insatiable humour will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family. Quintin Vallozzi”
