Bo Kennelly. I met him in 2009. We only conversed 1 or 2 times a year. But he always remembered me. We'd sit in his office for an hour or so. Every year I would look up at the familiar pictures of his travels with his family--- beautiful family. He woud always asked about my kids. He knew my struggles. Never judgmental. A pure soul. He was sad with me when my mother passed. We would talk about our yellow labrador dogs, about his walks every morning with his dogs; me promising I would walk mine more. Even if we only talked once or twice a year, he was a friend. And I miss him on this earth. He enriched my life and I will never forget Bo, All the best to his family. He was an amazing person.

Marcy and Family....What a wonderful celebration of Bo and his fascinating life. It was so well done. My deepest condolences to you and the family on this great loss. The memories of Bo will last forever in my mind and heart. It was a great time for me to be his officer-mate for a number of years and to share his warmth and conversation. I wish all of you the best as you move forward with Bo in you heart and continuing memories. Bob Smith

I met Bo during an incredibly hard time in my life. I was in deep trouble with my taxes and did not see any way through it. Bo was so patient, kind, and understanding with me. I definitely was not easy to deal with. He completely saved my ass and I actually still owe him for it. He knew I couldn’t afford to pay him fully in the moment but he did not care. He helped me and I’m so incredibly grateful that he was brought into my life. I don’t think anyone else would’ve been as kind as him. He has inspired me to be a better person who helps others without expecting in return. I am forever grateful to Bo for saving my life.

My condolences to Bo's family. I first met Bo through my husband, James. He and Bo knew each other from the PAC (Pasadena Athletic Club). My recollection is that they met playing handball together. When we became Bo’s clients without fail James and Bo would update each other on mutual PAC friends, what hikes they had done, family updates, and travels we had done or he and his family had done. He always made time to catch up.
My heart is heavy, James and I saw Bo in April last year and when James passed away in June, Bo was guiding me on what I needed to do to move forward with our taxes.
I hope that they are together now…catching up💕

I’m so saddened to hear of Bo’s unexpected passing. My best memory of him was of the way he delighted and took joy in my sister and I as little girls whenever he and Marcie came to visit us when we lived in LA in the 1980s. I’m grateful for his and Marcie’s friendship with my parents and my family. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends as they grieve. He’s in the arms of Jesus now.

Mr. Kennelly was always welcoming, kind and patient with all of the troublemakers that Sonny called friends growing up in La Canada. I will always remember the warm spirit when entering the Kennelly household. We played many games in that pool, spent time in the sauna and enjoyed the various musical instruments. I feel lucky to have grown up in a community that included the Kennelly family. Sending over my best wishes and love to the Kennelly family at this time.

He always had time on his morning hill climb on the teepee trail to share stories and the love of his dogs. From ~2010-2025.

I have been a friend of Marcella for many years, I know how much she loved Bo. He was a wonderful husband, a father and human being. My heart goes out to my dear friend and the entire family.
I thought I could be there for the celebration of Bo’s life, but things have changed due to my health. I’m sending my condolences and prayers, I will be there in spirit.

Deep sorrow for your loss, John, and family. But even deeper gratitude knowing Bo loved the Lord. By grace we endure this world, and by grace we enter Christ's presence. May you be surrounded by loving friends as your family walks through this valley. Praying for you. ❤️

We were shocked to learn of Bo's passing. He was such a caring person, and such a professional preparing our taxes. He cared so much for our well being after we lost our home in the Altadena fire, which made him even more endearing to us. He became more of a friend than our accountant. May God give his family some comfort knowing Bo was so loved and respected.

My condolences to Bo's family. I first met Bo when Sonny and my youngest son Andy were on the same AYSO Soccer team in the mid-90s. Bo was coach and I was an assistant. I think Bo set the standard for volunteer coaches and put his heart into making every one on the team feel important, cared for and valued. Some years later, my three sons, spouses and I became tax clients. He was a great Tax Coach and shared his business life lessons with all of us when we met each year. I would often see Bo on the LCF Teepee Trail, running his two Labs. I could not keep up!

Even though we've known each other for only a relatively short time, you made an indelible impression on me by your kindness and empathy in dealing with others, especially the people who provide a service or those less fortunate. I am glad to have crossed paths with you, as you have enriched my life. I appreciate the fun times and the wonderful memories we shared. You will be greatly missed. I will always remember you, especially when I see a handball court or a body of water. We will have fun again someday. Until then, my friend.

I wanted to share that I met Bo and Marcella at Calvary Chapel June Lake. And although we spent little time together over the years we did message each other often. Bo was always soft spoken and encouraging when we were together. We shared Jesus and a love for our dogs. My prayers go out to those who were close to him, May God’s presence be felt and known❤️
PS- I look forward to seeing him soon, in the glory of our Father. Amen
