John "Jack" Kelly

John "Jack" Kelly, 76, of Fenelton, PA, without warning or human tragedy, left this earth at the mere whisper of God on Wednesday, December 16, 2020.

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

He served in the United States Air Force from 1962-1966 and always treasured the privilege of living in the USA.

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.

A graveside service celebrating Jack's life will be on June 26th at 2:00PM at Butler County Memorial Park Chapel with Rev. James Richwine officiating. Military honors will be presented by the Butler County American Legion Posts #778 and #117 and VFW Post #249 and #499.
