Dan left us on Jan 8, 2017. He was born in Oakland, California on Dec 27,1927 to James Kennedy and Margaret Earley Kennedy and raised in Richmond, California. Brother to Thomas, Margaret, James, Dorothy, all deceased, and Veronica Erdahl (Jim). Survived by his loving wife of sixty-eight years Norma Beltrame Kennedy, his devoted children Kathleen Kennedy (Thomas Sehon), Daniel Kennedy (Sean), Frank Kennedy (Lynne). He was the adored grandfather of Tony (Rachelle), Lisa, Meaghan (Emmanuel), Vincent, Garrett, Ryan, and Alyssa. Dan was a caring uncle to his many nieces and nephews, and a supportive brother-in-law to Adele Keaveney and Kay Beltrame. Dan enjoyed his years in the Merchant Marines before owning and operating his moving and storage company for over 38 years (Don's Van & Storage). Private services were held. Many thanks and gratitude to the loving care Dan received at the Heritage.

Uncle Dan was a real gentleman and a man's man. He took care of his family and was of service to many. His sense of humor was wonderful and he could be counted on when some in his circle was in need. A great example of the "greatest generation".

I was sorry to hear of Uncle Dan's passing. When Beth and I came down to California to meet family in the mid 70's he was a great host. I really appreciated his sense of humor and the way he treated us. My Mom, (Shirley Kennedy) his sister in law has wonderful memories of when he was young.

I've always had a great fondness for my Uncle Dan and his wonderful sense of humor. He was an energenic and dynamic man. My condolences to Aunt Norma and all my Kennedy cousins.
