Born in Sackville, N.B. on September 18, 1950, he was the son of the late Betty Christina (Wood) and Charles Louis Green.
Kenny was employed with CN for 20 years and also worked in construction in Kitimat, BC. He loved nature, fishing with his brother, Lorne, making creations out of soapstone, doing wood carving and writing poetry.
