Kelly in front of a painting of Kelly following a Veterans Day ceremony at the Joseph E. Zaloga American Legion Post in Albany. From left: Bob Plunkett, James Kelly, Gail Stewart, Maureen Kelly Mayo, Paul Kelly, Joe McCormick and John J. Kelly Jr. Fifth child, Michael Kelly, was unable to attend. John J. Kelly Sr., an Albany native, was a decorated World War II veteran who saw action in North Africa, Sicily and in the invasion of Normandy, where he suffered serious injury. It was during his recovery that he met and married his wife Vicki, who served in the British WAF. Following the war Kelly served for a dozen years as lead counsel for CSEA from the law firm of DeGraff, Foy & Holt-Harris, until his untimely death in 1960 due to complications from his war injuries. Vicki Kelly passed away a short time later. The CSEA established a scholarship fund in Mr. Kelly's memory at the time of his death to provide college tuition help for the Kellys' five children. The John J. Kelly Scholarship Fund continues to provide assistance to the children of CSEA members who have lost a parent.
