Kelley was the 50th Attorney General of Michigan from 1961 until 1999.[1] He was the youngest (36 years old) and oldest (74 years old) Attorney General in the state's history. He was nicknamed as the "Eternal General" since he was attorney general for a long time.
He was the longest serving state attorney general in United States history, until Tom Miller beat his record in 2019.[2][3]
Kelley died on March 5, 2021 at a nursing home in Naples, Florida at the age of 96.[4]
