Those of of you know Denis Kelly well would have heard numerous stories of Tom his Dad , I'm sorry to say Tommy passed away on Sunday evening after a long life. Tom was around 94 years of age i think and only just moved out of home in Rosanna. I have some great memories of Tom with many a coffee and tea. Since i met Denis in the mid 80's Tom was Den's bike mechanic:) till about 10 or so years ago. We always stirred Den on his dad doing his bike services after every ride getting it in tip top shape for the next outing. Don't get me wrong Den worked on his bike as too , sort of:).
Tommy used to make little gadgets for Den's XR'S , Huskys and Wrf's like fabricated tool encloses that neatly fitted under seats and in frames he had a knack for things like that.
When the Super cars were on Denis and his Dad religiously always watched them having a few quite ales.
I'm going to miss Tommy , condolences to to you Denis and your family.
RIP Tommy.
