To Mr. Andrew Mckelvey’s family, Thank you for lending him to us. He will not be forgotten, because of lessons learned from him, and jobs sought and found, because of him. My family’s prayers go out to the Mekelvey family.
We are so blessed that our daughter is a McKelvey Scholar…he was such a gracious man. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.
One great guy. I owe my retirement at 49 to him. I miss knowing he is still out there.
My heart is filled with sorrow for the McKelvey family. I had the opportunity to know Andy as a brother-in-law and employer. Andy was married to my dear sister Judy who predeceased him 15 years ago. I worked in the Miami TMP, Inc. office for 8 years, in the 80’s. Andy gave me an opportunity to make something of myself and I will be forever grateful. Much love and prayers, Aunt Jane
