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!
