Tom Kelly, former Eagle Power service representative, passed away following a long illness.

Philip "Tom" Thomas Kelly was born in Lansdale, Pa., in 1952. He was drawn to laboring with his hands on machines for a profession. He worked at gas stations, garages and farms.

Mr. Kelly joined the CASE Power service department in 1987. Later as Eagle Power's Parts and Service Sales Representative (PSSR) he helped customers familiarize themselves with their new machines upon delivery and was a trusted point of contact for any issues which arose during its operation.

He retired from Eagle Power in 2019.

"Tommy was a huge presence here at Eagle," remembered Matt McDonald, president of Eagle Power & Equipment. "He had a big, loud laugh and an even bigger big heart. Customers loved and trusted him for his extensive knowledge of our products and his honesty. Tommy told it straight, good news or bad, and his customers always appreciated it."

Mr. Kelly was a kind soul who filled the room he was in with good humor, a friend to all who met him, the company said. He is survived by his beloved wife Linda and a tremendous family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
