Avis de décès de John J. Kearney

John J. Jack Kearney, of Quincy, died June 3, 2013. Jacks life revolved around his loving family. He enjoyed having them at the house for pool parties and special occasions. As a youth he earned the distinction of becoming an Eagle Scout, something he was proud of his entire life. He later served his country with the U.S. Navy during the Korean Conflict. His favorite pastime was taking care of his home. Jack had a basement full of tools and hardware and could locate every single item that he carefully placed. A telephone line installer with New England Telephone, he had worked for 39 years, retiring in 1983. He had tremendous pride in his work and always looked forward to each new workday. Always enjoying a good meal, he especially loved ice cream and his trips to the Clam Box and OB's Restaurants in Quincy.
