Francis V. Kelleher

Francis Vincent Kelleher died after a lengthy illness on July 17, 2024. Beloved son of the late Francis and Helen (Maloney) Kelleher. Brother of John Kelleher of San Francisco and Naples, Maine.

Cousin to the late Robert Belocas of Watertown, George Belocas of Watertown, Donna and George Criswell of Natick and Peter Belocas of Natick and his daughter Katrina of Uxbridge. Also cousin to Lori Mahoney and Rebecca Connelly, Doug and Deb Maloney, David and Kelly Maloney, all of Framingham, and Marsha and Robert Notartomaso of Nashua, NH.

Cousin to Trish Wright and Cheryl Wright of Brighton, Maureen Kelly of Dedham, Jerry Kelly of Brighton, Jean Wright of North Andover, and Catherine and Ed Jankowski of Plymouth.

Francis was a gentle giant with a kind soul and huge heart. He loved family, friends from all phases of his life, the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics, family gatherings, Tricky Pond in Maine, going to the Fryeburg Fair in Maine to bet on the horses and enjoy fairground food.  He was the favorite cousin to all during the Maloney White Horse Beach summer retreats growing up. He loved old time comedy shows and comic books (Little Lulu was a favorite).  Francis loved his sweets including ice cream, homemade pies, good chocolate and of course, his favorite drink .. Coca Cola.  

Francis will be missed immensely.  His whacky sense of humor, strong sense of fairness and his love for family all speak to the man he became and what we will miss deeply.  Rest easy dear Francis.  You were loved by many.

Visiting hours will be at Lehman, Reen, & McNamara Funeral Home on Sunday, July 28th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend. For guestbook please visit www.lehmanreen.com
