John B. Kennedy

He was always a soft-spoken kind soul. He always had a positive attitude and was a great teacher. It's so sad to see him go.

My deepest condolences to Tom and the Kennedy Family. May Jack rest in peace.

We enjoyed Jack at our Sunday meetings with his brother Tom, Jim Donahue and myself discussing scripture readings and other related subjects.

May his soul rest in peace with God in heaven forever!

How sad to hear of the passing of such a wonderful person...when I was growing up on Appleton St. Jack and his brother Tom were our upstairs neighbors, I was the little kid downstairs...they both were so kind to me and I have special memories of them and dear Kathy and Joan....rest in peace dear Jack.

The Maher sisters remember The Kennedy's from 73 Commercial Street. They were a wonderful family. They had Aunt Helen and Mrs. O'Connor their grandmother who lived on Jackson St. They had a grape vine in the backyard. I went to Trinity College with the help of his sister Joan Drennan. Joan was a special person too.
My sympathies go out to Tommy and Maureen on their great loss.
Go with God Jackie as we called him.
Sincerely, Pat, Maureen. And Jackie

Kennedy Family

solid ,reliable,dedicated, teacher at HHS. He was someone I could count on during my tenure as Superintendent.
Our prayers are with you during your time of loss.

In my last week of High school he asked a question. I raised my hand, and he said, "Yes, George"? It caught me off guard. I said, "George"?. He then said, well it is almost the finish of the school year, and we should tend to relax just a bit more. I said, "OK, Jack" and the class erupted in laughter. He was, and always will remain a...
