Rev. Kelley was a huge part in my family's life. When we moved to Farmingdale in the 60's, Rev. Kelley greeted us into the Ardena Baptist Church. In the early 70's while in the Boy Scouts, my brother Craig and I studied the Bible in an effort to obtain the God and Country Award. Through the help of Rev. Kelley, we were able to obtain our goal and Rev. Kelley presented each of us with the award. Rev. Kelley was a jokester, and one heck of a basketball player. For years we played basketball at the Ardena School, and as we grew bigger and stronger, we still weren't able to keep up with Rev. Kelley. I still remember summer Bible School. Each year the school would obtain a donkey, and of course, the donkey was Rev. Kelley ! I will always remember Rev. Kelley, he was a reference for me personally when I applied for the Howell Police Department. 25 years later I was able to retire from a successful career in Law Enforcement. Rev. Kelley was always there when you needed someone to talk with, and his love of God will never be forgotten. It is with great respect and admiration that I thank you Rev. Kelley for being part of my life and my families life. Heaven has gotten another Angel - RIP, in loving memory, Paul Hendershot.
