KELLY, Peter James Kelly - May 20, 1937 – February 11, 2021
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
From Crossing The Bar - by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Quietly and peacefully Peter did cross the bar on Thursday evening February 11, 2021.
As his spirit was sailing out to meet the ocean of the universe you can be sure that he was smiling and humming along to the song “Wasn’t that a party!”
