RIP Jack Kelly of Kellys electrical in Wesley Street.

The family of Jack posted the following on Facebook.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful Grandad, Jack Kelly. 

1967, Our grandad opened Kellys on Wesley Street. He is a Southport legend, and is well known for his big personality and kind heart.

As many will know, he spent his retirement still down Wesley Street, instead of serving customers he would enjoy popping down everyday and sitting outside Walkers having lunch with us. 

Things will never be the same again and as much as he would want his beloved shop back open tomorrow, we are going to take some time to adjust to life without him and remain closed until further notice.
