Terry Major's Apprentice Class
(Second from left, big smile)

Longtime Sr. Vice President of Operations, Terry Major, retired in 2019 after 59 years working for JH Kelly.  Starting as an apprentice in 1960, Terry was a plumber who always knew how to get the most from his crews.  A hard critic, an endearing mentor and a lasting testament to our culture of hard work and success - Terry along with Dan Evans, Chuck Stronach, Clancy Kelly and others helped shape the industrial side of our business.  Their mentorship and lessons learned will be felt for future generations of Kelly workers.

Jack Kelly, Jr. - 1933 As the second generation owner of JH Kelly, Jack Jr.'s daughter, Jackie, married Dan Evans - a Standard Oil chemical engineer.  The eventual change in ownership exploded the business and allowed JH Kelly to enter new markets with great success!
The Daily News - You do That? Article - 1997 JH Kelly has evolved from a residential plumber to appliances, to industrial piping, to general contracting services.  This growth was a result of Dan Evans bringing in a team with a background in industrial, chemical/oil/gas experience.  This experience allowed JH Kelly to bring on more trades, take on more risk, and grow into a leading contractor in the Pacific Northwest.
