Upon moving back to New Jersey, the Kelly’s settled in Union Beach. He graduated from Keyport High School in 1967 and went on to serve his country in the US Navy. He married his loving wife Eileen in 1986 and spent 37 years together. In 2001, Bill and Eileen moved to New Port Richey, FL, where they raised their three daughters Meghan, Leann and Brenna. Bill enjoyed spending his time by the pool or at the beach. He loved playing cards, traveling, and taking his girls to Disney any chance he got. He was a lifelong NY Giants and NY Mets fan. His favorite season was baseball season and he enjoyed following the Tampa Bay Rays after moving to Florida. 

Bill had a way of making you feel special. He knew the importance of being kind and would offer a hand to all those in need. He will be missed dearly by all.
