Larry "Lawrence" Kelley, 62,  an Amherst blogger and journalist, and an expert in martial arts, passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 17.  Larry sustained injuries in an auto accident. 
Larry leaves two much-beloved daughters, Kira, 15, and Jada, 10. This page was set up by Amherst community members, in gratitude for Larry's devotion to our town and its citizens; and in hopes of raising funds which his daughters could use to defray future expenses in their adult lives, including college education costs.  Donations will be gratefully accepted at this site, or can be made to The Kira and Jada Kelley Memorial Fund, c/o Easthampton Savings Bank, P.O. Box 81, Hadley, MA., 01035.  Thank you!
