Myron Kerney Obituary
Lawrence
Rochester: Passed away peacefully of natural causes, Saturday, April 30, 2011, at age 93. He was a resident of the Valley Manor Apartments in Rochester. He was born in Lisbon, Iowa to Ruth Hake Kerney and Roy Ernest Kerney. After graduating from Iowa State University, he gained employment at the Eastman Kodak Company in 1939. World War II intervened and he served in the US Army in England, Burma and China. Returning stateside, he married Evelyn Petersen and settled in Denver CO, resuming his Kodak career. He combined his love of photography with his work in the Consumer Products Marketing Division and retired from Kodak in 1981.
Mr. Kerney's hobbies and interests included photography, tennis, skiing, sailing, golf, winemaking and travel. In the early eighties, upon retirement, he developed an enthusiasm for the new Apple computer, an interest that led him to become one of the original members of Apple CIDER, a users' group in Rochester.
Mr. Kerney was a long time member of Third Presbyterian Church.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Evelyn Petersen Kerney. Mr. Kerney also leaves four children: Gail Cashman of Rockville, MD, Bill Kerney of Severna Park, MD, Karen Kerney of Jamesville, NY, and Jim Kerney of Boulder, CO. He had 9 grandchildren and 6 great- grandchildren. Services will take place on Tuesday, May 3 at 1 pm in the Chapel at Third Presbyterian Church, 4 Meigs Street, Rochester, NY.

Dear Evelyn and Family,
Jean and I were so sorry to learn of Myron's passing. As you may recall, I joined his department in 1962 and worked closely with him for about two years.
He was such a cheerful, pleasant man to work with and I credit him with assisting me so much during my career with Kodak.
We hope the warm memories you have of Myron will bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Love,
Bob Barr

Dear Evelyn and family,
Jean joins me in expressing our deepest sympathy.
As you may recall, I joined Myron's department in 1962 and worked closely with him for about 2 years. He was such a pleasant and knowledgeable person and was very helpful to me in my Kodak career. It was a pleasure to call him my friend.
May your warm memories bring you peace.

Dear Evelyn,
I started Kodak in 1980 and worked with Myron. He was such a gentlemen and so insightful. I was a "kid" then but learned so much from him. He had such a wonderful way about him and so intelligent.
I hope with time, your pain and void will lessen.
With love and sympathy to you and the entire family.
