Comments
Edward J. Kelly (Ed), 1919–2013, attended the University of Notre Dame where he earned a BA '41 and LL.B. '42. He was a founding member of the Board of Trustees for RRF Foundation for Aging (formerly The Retirement Research Foundation). He served as an officer of the Board from 1978 through 2012 and was Chair for 21 years.
Ed had a productive career in the insurance industry. He began working at Bankers Life and Casualty in 1959 and rose to become president of three insurance companies owned by John D. MacArthur. He held leadership positions in many other companies.
He was a founding member of the Board of Trustees for RRF Foundation for Aging (formerly The Retirement Research Foundation), appointed by the Foundation’s benefactor, Mr. MacArthur. For 45 years, RRF Foundation for Aging has been devoted to improving the quality of life of older people, awarding more than 5,000 grants worth more than $250 million. RRF Foundation for Aging was one of the first private foundations to focus exclusively on aging issues.
Upon the termination of their service with our Board, RRF Trustees are able to designate the recipient of an endowment grant. Mr. Kelly chose to award the endowment grant of $75,000 to his alma mater in 2012, a year before his passing. This award established an ongoing speaker series and prize for Law students writing an essay, article, or legal brief on a topic relating to elder law.
Ed was born in Ottawa, Illinois, and graduated from Seneca High School. Before he began his business career, Ed played minor-league baseball. He was also a Navy veteran and honorably served his country during World War II.
