John “Jack” J. Kelly Sr.

Delaware County – John J. Kelly Sr.(Jack) age 67, of Delaware County, PA left us, surrounded by his family on Monday, June 26, 2023.  Born on August 28, 1955.  Grew up in Sharon Hill, PA. He was the son of the late Charles E. Kelly and Catherine A. (McIlhenney) Kelly.

Jack was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Catherine Kelly, and his Fiancee Kathy Gillin. He was survived by his children, Jack, Juneann(Mike), Kevin(Shana). His grandchildren Kayla, Mikey, Cora, and Caleb. Siblings Charles(Sonia),  Ann(Jim),  Michael(Harry),  Eilleen(Howard), Danny(Anne Marie), Kathy(Tom), and Barbara. Former wife Joanne Kelly, Godmother Eileen “Aunt Leenie” MacDonald, cousins and many nieces and nephews.

Jack was an avid (some may say rabid) Philadephia sports fan. He was well known throughout the Delco softball community, especially by the umpires.

He loved watching his boys Jack, Kevin, and grandson Mikey play sports.  He beamed with pride at his daughter Juneann’s professional success.  His face lit up every time he got to spend time with his grandchildren. Family and Friendships were important to Jack, when friends needed him the most he stepped up.  With a heart of gold and always the best of intentions.

In lieu of flowers, the Kelly family would respectfully request contributions to be made to the Kisses for Kyle Foundation.
