James R. Kelley, 60, of Upton and formerly of Hopkinton and Westboro, died Thursday, October 12, 2017 in Rose Monahan Hospice Home in Worcester after an illness. He was the husband of Cheryl A. (Dowden) Kelley.
Jim was born in Worcester, the son of Davene (Johnson) Nelson of Sun City, AZ and the late Charles R. Kelley. He was a 1975 graduate of Westboro High School who enjoyed his many years of bartending at local bars, including Cornell’s and Nello’s. His favorite job was working in the lawn and garden department at WalMart in Northboro until retiring due to illness a year ago.
He loved his two dogs, Ellie and Sherlock, and his cat, Dartanian. He also enjoyed gardening and tending to his yard, and couldn’t wait to see what would pop up each year. Most of all, he enjoyed just a quiet evening on the deck or in front of a fire in the living room with his soulmate and the love of his life, Cheryl.
