My grandpawas the best and strongest man I’ve ever known. He has so many peoples hearts and was always a man who cared. He loved his familyand he loved to work and drink coffee. The day my son was born it was my grandpas 74th birthday and he told me it was the best birthday gift he could’ve ever gotten. He has always told my son Joshua K Kelley Jr that when he was gone it was my sons duty to carry on his birthday. I miss you grandpaand i love you and LJ said don’t worry grandpa he’ll carry on your birthday for you.
