John “Jack” Kelly

John “Jack” Kelly, 76, of Fenelton, without warning or human tragedy left this Earth at the mere whisper of God on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020.

Jack was born in 1944, in Philadelphia, and grew up in the greater Philadelphia area.

He served in the U.S. Air Force from 1962 until 1966, and always treasured the privilege of living in the U.S.A.

Jack had a deep love and appreciation for nature. He had an artist's eye, and hands that fashioned his love for God's creation into pieces of woodworking, painting, gardening, photography, and like any good Irishman—storytelling.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Ann Kelly, who died April 3, 2018, and their son, Paul Andrew Kelly.

His siblings, William J. Kelly (Kathy) and Brooke Kelly Richwine (Jim), as well as the many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends, will ALWAYS miss his loyal love, endearing ways, and open arms.
