Mr. Kelley was a true gentleman and always had kind words for everyone. The Edgartown National Bank was never the same after he retired.

So true. He was also the very best employer, neighbor and friend that anyone ever could have had. "Peace at the last," Mr. Kelley, and hugs of condolence to your loving family.

A pillar of the Greatest Generation and a role model for us baby boomers who outgrew the delusion that men like him were hopelessly square ...

My Dad always spoke very highly of Bob Kelley. He helped a great many Islanders in his banking career and will always be remembered for his community spirit. I am so glad he was able to participate in our gathering of Edgartown 85+ year olds. Along with my father Francis "Sandy" Fisher, Rosalie Bassett, Bob Carroll, Phyllis Coleman, Nelson Smith, Yvonne Sylvia, & Bailey Norton, the interviews were documentation of their lives in Edgartown and can be viewed on MVTV.org...Vineyard View "Growing up in Edgartown" with Ann Bassett. Thank you Bob Kelley.
