Jack Herman Kelly Jr.

Thinking of you. I learned this week of you passing and I am sending my blessings and heartfelt condolences for losing you young. And gratitude. Thank you for being. Thank you for your kindness so many years ago. Thank you for growing up with me.

It´s 1978 and you´re hooping it up for the good ole panthers in a yellow gold twin set :) (trimmed in blue) and killing it on the courts. I see you in the halls with your besties laughing it up and messing around like guys do- joyful and free. I see that yellow transam w a triangle decal and remember the way you took such good care of it. I remember your great smile and the way you bounced when you were
excited and Hardee´s French fries and milkshakes. Thank you Jack for your friendship and sharing your heart and your time in 1978. May you be as enraptured again this new phase.

Rest in eternal peace brother.

Jack and I met at church in 9th grade, we remained friends for many years and reconnected in our late 40s. We had a friendship that stood the test of time! I´m crushed to hear of his passing, and pray for his family in their grief. Til we meet again, I love you JackTracy Taylor Cromie
