Ned passed away late last night (Sunday 2 December 2018) at home surrounded by members of his family.<\/p>\n

He had lost his fight with cancer that he had been waging since we first found out about it in May 2018.<\/p>\n

The below photo is of Ned taken at our 2014 XMAS Social Function at the Bowlers Club in York St, Sydney.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A small funeral service will be held with close family and friends in attendance.<\/p>\n

Ned’s wife, Carmen, has advised that if anyone would like to send flowers and\/or letters of condolence they can be sent to:<\/p>\n

610 Barranjoey Road, Avalon Beach NSW 2107<\/p>\n

The family would be most grateful to receive tributes from any of Col\u2019s ex-OTC friends and work colleagues.<\/p>\n

Carmen, Ashley and Stephanie would like to invite you to join them from 3 pm Thursday 13th<\/sup> December 2018 to celebrate and farewell Colin (Ned) Kelly.<\/p>\n

The family will hold the celebration of Ned\u2019s life at his favourite sailing spot, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club located at 16 Mitala St, Newport NSW 2106.<\/p>\n

The family asks those who will attend to avoid suits and dark colours to match Ned\u2019s colourful personality.<\/p>\n

The parking will be tight as it is a sailing day. Those who are driving can drop off at the club but will probably need to park in the car park in Crystal St and walk up to the club. See map attached below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you would like to send me a tribute to Col that you would like to share with the wider group please email me at president@otva.com and will circulate it via email. Also indicate if you would not like that tribute to be uploaded to the OTVA web site<\/u><\/strong> for sharing with Ned\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Regards<\/p>\n

Peter Bull<\/p>\n
