ALBANY-Ronald J. Kelly, 84, of New York City, passed away peacefully on October 27, 2017 surrounded by his loving family and compassionate caregivers at Teresian House in Guilderland, NY.

Ron was a devoted educator. He worked as an English teacher and served as Chairman of the English Dept. for over 30 years. He was an avid reader and did the NY Times crossword puzzle (in pen).

Ronald was predeceased by Patricia, his wife of nearly 37 years and mother of his children; brother, Richard; brother-in-law, Brian O'Neill and his son-in-law, Sal Blair.
