Jack Connelly Obituary

Dr. Connelly took care of my three children when we lived in Gates, NY. He was always caring and thorough. He helped to relieve my parental anxieties many times! Condolences to the family.

Dr. Connelly was my pediatrician, I will remember him as a very kind and caring man, who always greeted me with a smile and a stick of Juicy Fruit. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Connelly & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Connellly's passing. Having recently lost my mom I know how difficult it can be. Hold onto all the great memories you have; they help so much in easing the loss. I have such fond memoreis of Dr. Connelly as our family pediatrician, my own childrens when they were young but just as importantly as a family friend. I can just picture him and my dad ( DR. Barnes) & Dr. Buckley and all the old gang getting ready to golf all dress in thier crazy golfing outfits!! I think heaven is getting ready to have a party with all the best of the best!!
My condolences to everyone.

Leslie and Family and Carolyn, I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Connelly's passing. He was a dedicated doctor, a great golfer, and someone who just loved life. I remember his infectious smile and how he loved puzzles, games, and chess. Please know that I will keep you all in my prayers in the days ahead. My thoughts are with you, even from afar.

My condolences to the family of Dr. Connelly for I believe he was a great man and is sure to be missed. I saw Dr. Connelly often as a child because I was allergic to bees and required frequent immunizations for a period of time. He also came to our house when I had an odd case of poison ivy on the bottoms of my feet and couldn't walk. My 3 brothers and 1 sister were also patients of Dr. Connelly and we all really liked him because he was so kind and humorous. He was wonderful with us kids and made our mom smile too. I think she always felt we were in the best of hands.

My siblings & I grew up going to Dr Jack (I, until his retirement) & remember him even making a couple of house calls when I had severe pneumonia as a child. My parents, Richard & Dorothy Mullaney both were close friends of his & went to Madison High School with him. My Mom & his sister-in-law, Joan, are cousins. Many connections & much history. He was such a dear man & a doctor who children looked forward to seeing (especially since the nurses gave the shots). I'm sure my parents welcomed him into Heaven when he arrived. I'm so sorry to you all for your loss.

Dr. Connelly was my Pediatrician from birth to young adulthood in the 60's and 70's. I will never forget his warm and caring ways. He always called me "Giggles" because I would laugh so nervously whenever I had to visit his office. Yet, he always made me feel safe and secure. And of course I couldn't ever forget "the gum!" Always the best payoff. God Bless you Dr. Connelly and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Connelly's passing. He was a wonderful doctor to my boys and I loved his commen sense approach. I have thought of him often through the years..may he rest in peace

Dr Connelly was my doctor until he retired when I was 17. He was so sweet and always a comfort when I was ill. I'll never forget he called me pumpkin and bruises (because it took me forever to learn to ride a bike). I remeber getting gum too! God bless your family at this time and know that he will never be forgotten by so many.

I remember my parents taking me to Dr. Connelly as a child. He was so kind and pleasant to us, and I remember the fruit-stripe gum, too. God bless Dr. Connelly and his family. Gail Goodlein-Harris

Dr. Connelly was a great doctor - he called all of us girls "Princess" and made a point of talking to us kids directly, not just listening to what our parents told him. The gum was always something to look forward to at the end of a visit! My kids go to Westside Pediatrics now because of the great care we received from Dr. Connelly and his staff (and we still see some familiar faces there 30 years later)! I can still see the drawings of his kids on his office wall - you were always in his thoughts - you should be proud of him. Best wishes to the Connelly family. So sorry for your loss.

i remember him so well.he was my babys dr for years now she is 31 .sorry to hear of his passing he was a great man and dr. germaine greece ny

Sympathies to the Connelly family from the Saager family. My five children were all patients of Dr. Connelly and he extended his caring to me also. I think of him often and appreciate his skill and manner to this day. And the fruit-stripe gum didn't hurt!

May your memories bring you comfort. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you.
Love,

My seven children were patients of Dr. Connelly. He always showed care and concern. Sometimes, he just told me to relax, things were ok. My children, now all are grown, but they still remember him giving them fruit stripe gum. Thoughts and prayers to all of you. Wonderful man !

My thoughts and prayers with you, Carolyn, and family. May Jack rest in peacs. God bless you. Love you, Mary Lou Griffin

You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Keep the wonderful memories of him alive.
