The Bakersfield Californian 
William Daniel "Bill" Kelly
5/23/1940 9/29/2004

A tribute to the life of William Daniel Kelly will be held at Auburn Oaks 
Funeral Home, 4030 Wible Road, Bakersfield, CA on October 9, 2004, at 2:00 
p.m. 

Bill was born in NYC on May 23, 1940 to William and Margaret Kelly. He was the 
second child and only son.

Bills education was in the schools of NYC and (as he often remarked) the 
streets of the city. He attended Brooklyn Poly Tech High School and credits 
them with the basics of education as well as his terrific work ethics. 
Immediately upon graduation, Bill joined the Navy. He proudly served 3 years 
of duty as well as 3 years of reserves. He was involved in the Lebanon Crisis 
and loved to relate his tour of duty in Iceland where he flew as navigator in 
a P2V in search of Russian Submarines.

Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Mary; his daughter, Debbie and 
husband, Larry Hill; and his youngest son, Daniel. He was preceded in death by 
his son, Bill. He also leaves two grand-daughters, Melissa Waters & Lindsey 
Grumbling.

Bill and Mary moved to California in 1962. The family moved to Bakersfield in 
1968. Bill fulfilled his lifelong dream when in 1971 he opened his own 
business. Jonas Draperies remained open until his death. His favorite pastimes 
were golfing and remodeling his home.

The family requests in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Bills name to 
either The Heart Association, The Salvation Army or Alzheimers Research.
