    To The Kelly Family:

    Mr Kelly was a true joy to be around. He was the first shuttle driver I met. He took me around and showed me where everything was and made sure I knew where to go when I got there. He made my first trips seeing the clinics I visited more comfortable. He always knew the peoples names on the shuttle and was so friendly We had many conversations about my son’s deployments and sports. He was a very caring individual. He truly lived the SMMC “Much More Than Medicine.” I was honored to have known him. I am praying for you all in your loss of this beloved man.

    Bob, was a joy to be around and work with during the five years
    that I had this privilege. He was a hard working, sincere man with
    a exceptional sense of humor that we shared. I felt that he was
    deeply devoted to his wife and family and to his work at Shawnee Mission Hospital-I will miss this man but hold him strongly in my
    memory.

    Sincerely,

    Gene Naron
