William James Kelsey (9 Feb 1968 - 1 Jun 2023)

sad news about Bill, Only found out about his death recently . For a few years he was in my class at Parklands secondary School, Bexley Lane Sidcup , Lovely guy ..

Great memories sitting on the lorry tyre on your farm with my five feet chestnut shepherd's crook watching you tilling the land in readiness for planting maize and sweetcorn. I miss the sweetcorn harvest season and above all, I miss your advice on farming. We surely also had few good laughs.

Rest In Perfect Peace Bill

I first met William when he was a little boy at West Lodge School. He was friends with my daughter Elizabeth(Lizzie) and he was a very smiley,lovely boy with curly hair in his blazer and cap.Over the years when I came to the farm we would talk about those early days and Lizzie came and visited in 2021.
It is with great sadness that William(Bill) has been promoted to glory so soon and I send all my love and condolences to his family. The service was wonderful, as were his dear sons reading tributes to their Dad. Bill will always be remembered for his kindness and caring to all and especially his smiling face. Love Jenny❤️

Sincere condolences to all the Kelsey family and friends. Bill was always a kind and friendly man. Once I found his Black Labrador lost in Footscray meadows, luckily the dog was chipped and I took him back to the farm. Bill gave me a bag of fruit & veg for my trouble. He will be sadly missed. RIP Bill.

R.I.P. Bill thanks for some wonderful memories

What a wonderful service and a great tribute to a lovely man. I so remember George and Tom when they were about 7 and 9 running the car park at the NorthKent ploughing match. My husband Guy always thought how smartly dressed they were and would often give them a little tip as they did such a good job. Well boys your Dad would have been so proud of you and the rest of the family today, it was a very moving service to a man who did so much for everyone. Rest in peace Bill.

Thinking of you and your family today bill you was a true gent and a great boss who made the work place a happy environment and I miss working there so much xxx Rest in peace bill sleep tight 🦋💔🦋💔🦋💔🦋💔🦋💔🦋💔

So sad to hear of bill's passing. myself and my friend John first met Bill at Kelseys farm when we approached Bill to ask if we could put our bee hives on his land. He said yes, and could not do enough to help us. What a lovely person. Condolences to all the family. RIP Bill. Tony & John
