Kelly was a hardworking quiet man with an infectious smile.  He was a loyal friend and dedicated Boss Man and husband.  He loved his job and all that it entailed.  He loved problem solving, repairing, replacing, and building on the pipeline with the guys in the gang, who became his second family.  He left his imprint and will be greatly missed by many. Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Theresa Wick of Yankton, South Dakota; his brother, Robert Wick ; his sister, Kathy Wick and all of his loving family members in Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herb and Betty Wick.
