Welcome to Heycoachkelly! This is a page dedicated to Jeffrey Kelly and his life story. Born February 11th, 1957 to Fredrick Kelly jr. (son of Fred C. Kelly and Estelle "McCoy" Kelly) and Priscilla "Peg" Kelly (daughter of Earl Munro and Alma "Pipes" Munro). Born in Port Huron, Michigan on the 42nd day of the year. The number 42 will be a part of my life forever. Jeffrey Kelly was born in Port Huron Hospital and lived the first 4 years of my life in Lakeport, Michigan a small village some 15 miles North of Port Huron along Lake Huron. Jeff as I was to be called growing up was the youngest child of Fred & Peg Kelly's two children. I have an older brother of 4 years and 9 months named Lance Kelly. Lance was born also in Port Huron and raised in Lakeport, Michigan until 1961 when the Kelly family moved. Being only about 5 years old when the Kelly family moved out of Lakeport and down the 15 miles along the Lake Huron shoreline to Port Huron the early years of my life are very faintly remembered. I can basically only remember the house layout and house location which now some 50 years later has been demolished and a new home built on the same land. I can only recall pictures in my mind and brief glimpses into the past when I hear other family members talking of the days gone by and the good "old" days at the house on Norman Road in Lakeport. I wish I could honestly say I remember a lot of those stories but unfortunetly I can only visualise the stories and the way that they played out in those early years of my life. Recall of the mind is a gift and I just don't have the ablility that others have to recall a lot of things gone by nor do I try. I can remember things like our dog's names and colors in these years and like I said the layout of the house and by the way our dogs that we had in Lakeport did make the trip to Port Huron for a brief time before my dad "gave them to a buddy of mine" he says. I have never asked him if that was the truth to this day or if he just took them to the shelter because the dogs were able to run free in Lakeport but now in the big city they had no freedom and couldn't run free for reason that the might get lost or now even hit by a car as cars actually drove by our house unlike in Lakeport where the only car that drove by would be one of the few neighbors that had cars and the then the mailman and that might be it for the day.
