Henry, sorry to hear of Ref Wayne Kelly's passing. A fine ref from my neck of the woods. R.I.P. Wayne Kelly

Very sad news. Mr. Kelly was a class act, in and out of the ring.

Wayne and I go back a long way over 20 years, me and my son Brett always had a great time with him, We worked many great fight nights together and traveled to many boxing conventions and I always knew I had a pal in my corner. I received a call from Randy Gordon who told me and I was in absolute shock to hear it.
Wayne, Randy and me had many wonderful pro boxing memories with each other.

I am very saddened to hear this, Wayne was the best, a brave man, a former boxer, a great father and a dear friend. My condolences to his son and daughter, your father was the best.

love,
Ron
