Kenneth was known for his friendly spirit and welcoming smile. He was a former member of the PC Riding Association, the Millville Legion Branch #59, the Burtts Corner Lions Club, and he coordinated a weekly cribbage tournament in Mactaquac, which succeeded in bringing many friends together each week. Kenneth worked for many businesses throughout his life and completed his working career as a civil servant, at Mactaquac Provincial Park. He enjoyed his work colleagues and the friendships that he continued to maintain after retirement.

The family wishes to extend a thank you to friends Larry Calhoun, Jim Fowler and Bill Robinson (and many others) for their exceptional companionship, and for great memories made with Kenneth and our family throughout his life. Thanks also to staff of York Care Center and Integrity Senior Care and that helped make Kenneth’s last year easier for all of us.
