LEONARD EUGENE KELLY April 9, 1937 - January 8, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Leonard Kelly. It broke our heart to lose you Dad (Papa), but we find comfort in knowing that you are now with Mom (Maxine), your true love. Dad is survived by his son James (Kim) Kelly; daughters Brenda (Rick) Bozek, Sandra (Barry) Kwiatkowski, and Cherylee (Graeme) Jones; grandchildren Kristee, Kurtis, Deanne, Kelly, Colin, Justin, Brayden, Brody and Rylan, and great-grandchildren Hailey, Maya and Ellica. Also survived by his sister Shirley (Walter) Stewart. Dad was predeceased by his wife Maxine (1999); his parents Ben and Josephine Kelly; brothers William and Joseph, and sister Doreen. Dad and Mom started Kelly Western Aero Centre, growing the company into a thriving and successful business until he retired. Dad and Mom enjoyed travelling, especially the many trips they took in their motorhome. Dad had a heart of gold and was always there for his family. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and attending their activities. He loved the time he spent with his four legged best bud, Spirit; along with the many family pets that adored him. Dad will also be greatly missed by Bev Homewood along with her family Jim (Stacy); Kristen (Steve), Emily and Morgan; Tyler (Candace), Jaxon, Asher and Autumn. Also special long-time friends Gary and Betty Black. Respecting Dad's wishes, a private service will be held. Should anyone wish to do so, donations in Dad's memory may be made to the charity of your choice. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. We Love You Dad (Papa) GREEN ACRES Funeral Home and Cemetery (204) 222-3241 Condolences may be sent to www.greenacresfuneralhome.com
