Kenneth was a member and elder of St. Matthew’s United Church, Marble Mountain. He was a farmer, woodsman and former employee of Nova Scotia Power, all the while caring for his mother until her death in 1981. With a lifelong interest in the world around him and a memory second to none, he had a great store of history at the ready that he gladly shared with those interested. Kenneth enjoyed card games and social gatherings; he appreciated nature and had an abiding love for children.
The family would like to thank Kenneth’s neighbors' and friends whose kindness and help allowed him to remain on his beloved hill until shortly before his passing. Thanks also to Dr. Chow and staff for the care and comfort that made his last days very special. He thought the world of you all.
