There was a tragedy this weekend in our neck of the woods. I'd like to extent sincere condolences to the Kelly family. Rick has been around this scene for many years, and although he doesn't post much/at all here, most of us know who he is. Rick lost his wife this weekend, and anyone who knew Leslie, knew what a great person she is. Sadness befalls Durham region, through senseless violence.
RIP Leslie, you'll be dearly missed by all whose lives were touched by you.

wow, that is unforgiveable! poor Rick

it brings me to tears to think that someone could do something like this to such a good person, this is not what she deserved and to do this to a innocent child there are no words for it
but if anyone is interested in a donation to rick and their kids i am setting something up, and i should have more details by the end of today or tomorrow as to exactly what we are doing
I read that on JCO. This is very disturbing.
I also do not know Rick personally, but I am very sorry to have to hear such news.
Its hard to lose someone you love and no matter what, all of us here will be thinking about you and have you in our prayers.
A tragic day is upon us, sad to see the blatent disregard for a human life.
RIP Leslie

Unfreaking real...!
If that Gino guy didn't get shot and killed ( was he killed ) if not this is the reason why we should still have
public hangings..!
PRICK..!
Corby set up something on JCO to send donations to the family.
i never met him either, but with 2 kids it sure gives you a wake up call....you never know when something can change your life forever...
that idiot got off easy by being shot...
rip...my condolences to the family. And i hope the kids pull through.
"If you have no clue what's going on... STFU!"
wow thats soo unforgetable i didnt know rick my self but no one should have to go through that in life watching some one u care so much about die in ur arms along with ur child. my forgiveness goes out to the family and wish rick the best of luck from all us at jbo. r.i.p. leslie ull be greatly missed by all.
I did not know the kelly family but I'm very sorry to hear about this. This is very tragic and sad that such a thing could happen at any time to good people.
RIP Leslie and best wishes to the rest of the family for a full recovery.

As I read the above post I couldn't help think about how much anger I would have towards life losing my child...I have two boys and I
can only hope I beat them to the grave...
I send my condolences to the Kelly family.
Eternal rest grant onto them. Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May their souls and all the souls of the faithfully departed through the Mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen
Its with great sadness I say that Rick has succumbed to his injuries.
R.I.P
You, Leslie and Nathan will be forever in our hearts.
this is just unbelievable
RIP Rick, Leslie and Nathan
Gone but never forgotten.
like i said on the .com i dont even know what to say
he was a great guy its just so sad that him and his family has gone through all of this
Suffice it to say, I was hugely shocked to hear that news this morning. I never would have guessed he wouldn't make it through, I still don't believe it.
We're all suffering a massive loss at this time.

My condolences and sympathy to the Kelly's family. I truly hope Brandon and Steven will be taken care of really well at those difficult times and in the future.
Found out early yesterday morning...deffinately floored me as I was not expecting this. RIP Rick, your contributions to the (DRJ) club, our lives and the other lives around you will not be forgotten...Thanks, you taught me so much about the scene and it was an honour to stand beside you at XTS 2008...you will never be forgotten.
As for the attacker, I'm gonna balk on commenting on that and I hope everyone else does as well. This person paid the price for his actions, and is no longer relevent to the situation lets please focus our attention on helping and supporting the family through this unimaginably difficult time.

i know this is an extremly old post and i probably shouldn't bring it back to the top, but as Rick & Leslie's best friend, i want to thank all of you that spoke kind words and provided support during that time. again sorry for bringing back an old post. I just wish you could have all met him and enjoyed his friendship as myself and a lot of others people did. Rick is the reason i became involved in the J-Body scene. your contributions have gone to the kids to help secure their needs in the future, again thank you.
god bless you all.
