This blog is being used for a book we'll be giving to Dave the night of the party. This book will be a collection of well wishes, stories, tributes, etc from all his friends, former players, coaches. It's very simple - like signing a yearbook. You can be as creative or simple as you want. Don't be left out. If you want to be in Dave's yearbook, you need to post your note by MAY 14th! Just email patrickdugg@gmail.com with your contribution and we'll post it for you.

Ray, Maureen and Colin Kelly

Dave

You are truly one of the most humble and selfless individuals that Maureen, Colin and I have ever met. Your devotion to St Thomas and the boys in the basketball program has been remarkable. Colin enjoyed playing for you and I enjoyed my 2 years of coaching with you. As a further testament to your character, you continued to be devoted to and remained in contact with many of your players, even after they left St Thomas. I know Colin was always appreciative of the fact that you attended many of his high school games and often waited to speak with him after the game.

But most importantly you were always the epitome of sportsmanship, regardless of the circumstances. You coached and mentored each and every player in the same manner, regardless of the player’s skill level. You have provided all of your players and me with many valuable memories, lessons and life experiences, for which we will all always be grateful.

Thanks for everything.

Ray, Maureen and Colin Kelly
