Obituary of John "Jack" Kenny

Obituary of John “Jack” Francis Kenny Kenny, John F., born 1932 in Queens, N.Y., loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend to so many, passed into God’s hands at age 89 on June 24th, 2022 after a full and blessed life. He was generally known as Jack, but his family affectionately referred to him as “Bumps.” The Bumps is survived by his wife, Connie, along with four children and their spouses – Joanne (Jeff) Wilson, John Jr. (Joan), Michael (Lisa), and Jim – as well as eleven grandchildren and two great grandchildren: Kyle (Paola), Robert, John III, Shannon, Jessica, Samantha (Michael), Ryan, Tyler, Matthew, Katy, Jacklyn, Sofia and Camila. Jack’s selflessness, integrity, and strong work ethic have been inspirational to his family. A real jokester, Jack’s quick wit and light-hearted demeanor brought joy to all who knew him. Jack married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Connie, in 1955, and they enjoyed 67 years of beautiful marriage. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from 1952-1954, rising to the rank of corporal, where he made some life-long friends and fond memories. He was a skilled craftsman at the art of floor refinishing, maintaining the courts of professional athletic venues and founding a successful company, Kentone Flooring Inc., in 1964. Jack had a love of sports, especially Notre Dame football, which he and his family supported throughout his life. Always ready with a joke, Jack was a real character with long-winded stories and an infectious sense of humor. He seemed to have a special joke for each person he met. He was also a fiercely dedicated family man who exemplified loyalty and honesty, and who saw the best in everybody he met and in every situation he encountered.
