Kielty Clan; We mark the passing of John Francis Kielty, 83, a great Irishman, a descendant of Patrick Kielty and Catherine Geraghty of Iowa.  John was in all ways a great American Hero. John served in the Navy during WWII on three Aircraft Carriers, the Lexington, Hancock and the Hornet and survived 14 major Air-sea engagements Including the sinking of the USS Hornet in 1942 during this conflict.  John continued his career in the Navy until retirement and then worked as a Senior Manager for the Sony Corporation.   John is survived by his wife ethyl, his sons Kevin , shawn and their families, his grandson Johnny and numerous Grandchildren and great Grandchildren, His Sister Mary Jane Flynn, Sister-In-Law Bonnie Kielty and many Nephews and Nieces.
