"I am one of the most fortunate people to have had the honor of knowing Kelly as a true brother. When I married his brother Clark, in 1972, and we moved to California, there was Kelly, my instant friend and instant brother. We played Monopoly together, ate meals together, played the piano together, and most importantly, laughed together. He was a wonderful uncle to my children, and a wonderful brother-in-law to me, and I miss him dearly. Rest in peace dear Kelly. We will see each other again one day. Chris Bainbridge"

"My brother Kelly was by far one of the best men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was born in Torrance, California on September 10,1952 and except for short stays in Wilmington and Chula Vista, California as a baby and a toddler, he spent most of his youth growing up in San Pedro, California where he excelled in baseball and learned to play guitar and piano. His first degree was a BA in Music from San Francisco State and then a degree in nursing. After working several years in Seattle as an RN, Kelly got his degree as a Physicians Assistant from the University of Washington. The number of people he touched through his music and his medical care are legion. But I will always remember him as my beautiful brother. I will miss his wit, his intelligent conversations on diverse topics, his interractions with his children and mine, his grace, his charm, and his unending ability to maike me laugh. I loved him dearly. Clark Bainbridge"
