Richard Quintin Kelly

Richard Quintin Kelly, 56, of Colchester, passed away Wednesday (Jan. 18, 2017) at home surrounded by his loving family and friends after a courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer.

Born July 18, 1960 in Hackensack, NJ, he was the son of Charles Frank Kelly of Waterville, ME and the late Carol Munson (Windrum) Kelly.

In addition to his father, he leaves his beloved wife of 30 years, Pamela (Torgersen) Kelly; two daughters, Nicole Davis and her husband, Steven, of Melrose, MA and Melinda Kelly and her fiancé, Mateo Pacheco of Sante Fe, NM; his son, Jeffrey Kelly of Boston, MA; four siblings, Janet Kelly and her partner, Mary Madden of Atlanta, GA, Roger Kelly and his wife, Joan of Bluffton, SC, Gail Abel of Manchester, NH and Cathy Vlastakis and her husband, Kirk of Clemmons, NC; his mother-in-law, Jean Torgersen of Hackettstown, NJ; and numerous extended family members and friends.

Richard has worked as the Director of Print Procurement for MassMutual in Springfield, MA for many years.  He loved golfing, boating and spending time on the back deck.  He cherished his purple Dodge Challenger, affectionately named “Plum Crazy”, as well as family vacations in Maine – as his greatest joy was found in his family, to whom he was ever devoted.

A Memorial service celebrating his life will be observed 2:30 PM Sunday directly at the Marlborough Congregational Church, 35 So. Main St., Marlborough.  There are no calling hours and burial will be private in the Linwood Cemetery, Colchester.
