Eugene E. “Gene” Kelly Jr. passed away March 16, 2012, at age 88, in Yonkers, N.Y. Gene leaves his wife, Joyce; children Robert, Mark and Betsy Levenson; and grandchildren Bobby and Jack Kelly and Kyra Wilkowski.
Gene was born in Holyoke, Mass., in 1923. After graduating from Amherst, he received his master’s degree in literature from Columbia University.
He had a long and successful career on Wall Street. Gene married Joyce Moore Kelly in April 1950, and they were married for 62 wonderful years.
He served as a second lieutenant, Air Corps, in the U.S. Army during World War II. A lover of the arts and music, he was also an avid golfer who played great courses around the world.
His love of family was matched by his generosity and kindness to all who knew him.
