'Kenny' stood out, with his ever ready, friendly, smile as one of the most popular of the Colebrook Academy Class of 1960.
To his family and friends, we share in your sadness and sorrow.

Kent was a great classmate of mine at Colebrook Academy. He made everyone feel welcome when we started our studies in Colebrook. Kent and I were born on the same day. We joined the navy at the same time in July 1961. Unfortunately, we lost contact and went our separate ways after that.
My prayers go to Kent's family.

Ken was a classmate and teammate of mine at Colebrook Academy and one year of college at Plymouth State in New Hampshire. We were also teammates on the Colebrook American Legion baseball team.
Although our lives brought us on separate paths after 1961, I have fond memories of Ken and our friendship.
My condolences to Ken's family and close friends.
