DC Tom Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Jim Kelley, Leslie Nielsen, the director of The Empire Strikes Back... ...and somehow, Keith Richards is still alive.
X. Benedict Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 He was a long a part of the hockey landscape here. Requiesat in Pace.
Spun Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Sad news. Pancreatic cancer is one of the toughest to overcome. Where would we be without the scribes? When we had two papers it was the best. How many of us grew up excitedly anticipating the next days sports section before the internet? Kelley was famous for calling out Hasek. The Buffalo News and nhl.com haven't yet reported the bad news while wikipedia and yahoo.com have. My condolences to family, friends and colleagues. Thanks for keeping us in the loop Jim Kelley!
bbb Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Man, that must have taken him fast. I thought I heard him on the radio just a month or so ago......He's a South Buffalo guy and my friend's dear uncle. RIP, Jim.
zow2 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Oh man, how awful. I thought i just heard him recently on the radio too. He always had good takes. Jeez, Ralph is gonna live till he's 120 and others are dying so young.
HopsGuy Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Good tribute to Kelley by SI's Michael Farber.
bbb Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Good tribute to Kelley by SI's Michael Farber. Very good! Thanks.
BuffaloBillsSD Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Jim was a great guy and a family friend. He never minded when the boys would corner him at family functions and talk his ear off about the Sabres and hockey in general. I used to read Inside the NHL every Sunday as a child and didn't know until a few years down the road that the Jim Kelley from the paper was the same guy we knew.
