I was a former patient of Dr. Kelly's from back in the late eighties and early nineties. He was always very kind to me and my family. I had a cleft lip and palette He set up a payment plan for my parents that made it possible for me to have have braces. He was a very important influence in my childhood. I often think about him and his wonderful nurses. I am very sorry and saddened to hear about your loss. He will be missed by all.
My most sincere condolences to Mrs Aleatha Kelly for the loss of Dr Vincent Kelly. Vincent was a great friend of my family and a mentor. He showed me how to take life by the horns and make good things happen. Vincent was truly an example for all of us to follow.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at the loss of Dr. Kelly. Dr. Kelly was my orthodonist from 1966 to 1968. I wouldn't have the smile I do today without his assistance! He was always so encouraging to me as a teenager, and so friendly. I also remember when I got to go for a ride in his new Corvette! I know he touched many lives and will be missed by many. God Bless.

Vince Kelly was an inspiration and mentor in my life. He is the reason I became a dental hygienist. I met him as a patient when I was a teenager, then worked for him as a chairside assistant during High School with Aleatha and Carthel. I will always remember our office float trips down the Illinois river with the hasty bake cooking on the front of the boat, his wonderful Cesar salad and his candy apple red corvette....SWEET! I am so grateful for all he has inspired me to do and be. As he used to say to me..."Out of sight is not out of mind." He will live in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are with Aleatha and his family.
I am so very sorry for your loss of Vince. Even though I did not know him personally,I feel as if I did thru the Oliver family. The stories were told & the laughter was abundant. Vince was a wonderful man thru the Oliver eyes. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts & prayers are with you all. Mikie Oliver (wife of Pat Oliver)
