Kelvin retired after 35 years with the city in 2013 due to medical reasons.  This did not keep him from enjoying his grandchildren’s ball and hockey games.  Kelvin always lived his life to the fullest. His nicknames, jokes, songs, and sense of humor will be truly missed by all who knew him. Special thanks from the family to Dr. Lotz and all the homecare staff.
