Doug Kelly Obituary, Death – We were startled beyond belief and our hearts were filled with sadness when we learned over the weekend that Doug Kelly had passed away. We found out about his passing. We were totally and completely unwilling to accept the fact that he had passed away. Doug was a contributing member of the band on a full-time basis while the United States was actively engaged in World War II, and he did this while the United States was also actively engaged in the war. Between the years 1943 and 1945, he was a part of the band and made contributions to it by playing the trumpet and arranging the music. He was a member of the band during those years. In addition to it, he was an active participant in the band. Doug is the former member of our band who has been with us during this entire span of time in the most consistent manner.
He is commonly referred to as “The Constant.” Because he went on to become a musician in Christchurch, his legacy will be remembered for a significant amount of time in the years to come as a direct result of the fact that he went on to become an active player in the music scene in Christchurch. His legacy will be remembered for a great amount of time because of the fact that he went on to become a musician in Christchurch. During this challenging time, we are going through this anguish together, and his family is at the forefront of our thoughts and prayers as we work our way through this difficulty.
