His sister,Mary Kay, was my childhood "Crush" who wisely chose another. Jack was a good mentor to all. The lobby of St.Ed Gym was donated by Jack. Thanks, Jack, and safe home, Dennis F.Butler,,Esq.

This is sorrowful news. We have lost an exceptional colleague and a friend. Let us pray for Jack Kelly and bid him farewell on his final journey. May he rest in peace.

A Great friend, A St Ed Eagle and Villanova Wildcat, loved by many. Too many adventures over the years to recount, but just can´t forget that great Irish smile. His Basketball exploits brought pride to his classmates, never to be forgotten. A true friend over the years. God rest your soul. Erin Go Bragh!

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Jack's passing. I am also sorry that we had lost touch over the years. My memories of him will always bring a smile to my face. Memories of Higgins Lake - like the brothers accidently burning down the gazebo trying to get rid of a bee's nest, waterskiing off the back of the pontoon boat, swimming in water still cold as ice in July, and lots of laughing. "Bigger than life" was an accurate description, and how I will always remember him!
