John A. Kelly, Jr. (Jack) passed away peacefully at age 88 in Naples, Florida. Jack was a devoted husband, a wonderful father and an adored grandfather and is sorely missed. Jack's life was characterized by determination, a zest for life and a strong connection to his family. Jack grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, the eldest of seven children and relished that role throughout his life. He loved school and he loved sport. Jack's track career started at Fenwick High School in Oak Park, and upon graduation he was awarded a track scholarship to attend Drake University. From 1949 -1951, Jack ran on both the one mile and half-mile relay teams and set records at the Drake Relays. He entertained the family with stories about driving around the country to attend track meets, the many victories and great times he had with his fellow team members. His storytelling brought these experiences to life for all of us to enjoy with him. Jack completed his BA at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and then went on to earn his MBA and JD in 1956.
