Dennis Kelly

Dennis Kelly (a.k.a. Grandpa), 68, born July 12, 1940, passed away February 7, 2009, with Grandma by his side. He was a much-loved husband, father and grandpa. He grew up in Buffalo, NY, moved to the Los Angeles area and has been a Fallbrook resident for the past eight years.

The two things he was most proud of were me and my brother, his grandsons Brandon and Jason Tuch. He was always interested in what we were doing, teaching us how to play basketball, taking us on hikes and playing hide and go seek with us (but he could never find us). He spent many playful years with us; we loved him a lot and will never forget him.

We’ll never forget how amazing he thought we were; he loved us so much it is hard to put into words. We miss him and will never forget our number one fan at every game. His unconditional love and sense of humor lives on in us.

Grandpa is also survived by his wife of 43 years, Linda, daughter Hope, son Sean, daughter-in-law Devin and granddaughter Jillian.
