Obituary
William Paul Kelly, age 67, passed away on April 5, 2009 at Sumner Regional Medical Center with his family and loved ones by his side. He was a retired machinist at BAE Systems. He had been a Wellington resident since 1968 moving here after serving in the U. S. Army.
He was born on November 14, 1941 in San Francisco, CA to William Charles Kelly II and Henriette Pauline (Peters) Kelly. He was raised in Yukon, OK and graduated from High School there.
Will had an avid love for old cars and was a member of "The River City Street Rod Club." He thoroughly enjoyed car shows and working on and showing his 1938 Chevy. He also liked playing cards, traveling, bowling, and an occasional trip to the casino. He was a member of the American Legion and the First Christian Church. He was a great story teller who sometimes liked to stretch the truth. He will always be remembered for his wonderful since of humor.
He is preceded in death by his father, William Charles Kelly and his step-father, Harry Schlegel.
