As a former student of Mr. Kelly, I know that I speak for many when I say that he was a first class educator and person.  So many great memories of 7th hour Current Affairs.  Nobody could get off track like Mr. K!  :)   But he always managed to teach us what we needed to know and we had fun doing it!  I hope that he knew that he made a profound difference in the lives of kids, and we will forever remember him with such admiration and respect.  I pray for comfort and peace that only God can provide, today, and in the days ahead.  My deepest sympathy~

I?m very sorry to hear of Bob?s passing.  Bob was one of my first mentors when I started teaching in Byron. He was always levelheaded and thoughtful in the advice he?d give.  He always had the right perspective about sports too.  Important, but not life or death.  Just a good guy who was fun to hang out with and also very good at the various positions he had in education.  He will be missed by many.  My deepest condolences to the Kelly family.

To Lisa, Ryan, Megan and Bridget,
 
I am saddened by Bob's passing.  Too many stories to tell from the time we started coaching football and teaching together.  The late nights after games; film sessions; practices; and of course, gatherings at the Kelly house.  Laughter, good stories, some tears, and lots of fun.  Regardless of the trials and tribulations of teaching and coaching, we always had a goiod laugh.  Grad school times and lots of driving to Winona State.  As we shared administrative aspirations, we were able to share experiences and provide good advice to each other.  I enjoyed the "Irish" we shared together.  My prayers and thoughts are with the Kelly family.  May God Bless his soul.
Thank you Bob for the opportunities to coach and teach with you.  Those were some of the best times of my professional career.
 
Peter Grant

Judith A Lewis added on 03/26/2019 at 9:33 pm 
I was honored to work with Bob Kelly when he was Superintendent of the Triton Public Schools. He was a kind, compassionate man who offered me great support and understanding when I faced some immense losses in my life. He truly cared about others and always enjoyed a good laugh. There is a bright star shining from the heavens letting us know he has gone home. May his memory be blessed and his impact on family and friends live on in cherished memories.

Lisa & Family Members,
I extend my deepest condolences and sympathies to you and your family.  I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing.  I commend him on his years of dedication to education.  He has left a lasting legacy for all he has accomplished as a teacher, coach, AD, Principal and Superintendent.  
Bob had a passion for living life to the fullest!  It has to be comforting to know that family always came first.
The saying goes that when we lose a loved on here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that will watch over us.  May you take comfort in knowing that you now have an angel who will lovingly watch over you.
Please trust that Bob is in the warm embrace of the "Good Lord" and is at peace.  He will enjoy the joys and comforts of heaven.
May the Good Lord bless and comfort you and your family members during this time of grief.  I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers!

Bob Kelly was an exceptional administrator and one of my favorite people to talk to when I was a young man at Byron High. He had an enormous impact on me growing up, and I?ll always be thankful for having the opportunity to get my education under his leadership.
