Normandy Park resident Ted Lomax is proof that life continues with kidney dialysis.

Lomax, 83, has been on dialysis for nearly a decade. He started dialysis three times a week at a Northwest Kidney Centers' clinic. For the past eight years, Lomax has been having dialysis at home with the help of his wife, Gloria, 79.

Kelly also plays in the Highline Christian Church band in Burien. He prefers to play barefoot at Pontiac Bay’s rehearsal space at Magnuson Park.
