Obituary of Daniel Allen Kelley

Danny followed a strict routine each day.   You could set your watch by him.   He spent many hours during the day enjoying the competitions on the Game Show network.   Danny also enjoyed listening to “oldies” music.   A gentle, kind, and caring soul, he was always happy to see a familiar face, and greeted everyone with a smile.
