Kenneth L. "Ken" Lonergan

Kenneth is married to my cousin Vera, so he was not only a great friend, but also family. He was principal at the Warren T. Eich School at the same time I attended the school. He never treated me any different from other students. In fact, I got caught chewing gum in class and was sent to his office and my consequence was taking a waste basket outside and picking up trash on the school grounds. But he was never disrespectful and always handled matters with class. He was a very kind, gentle...

He was so close with my mother's family that as a child, I thought we were related. He was my principle at Cirby, then followed me to Atlantic. I couldn't get away with anything because he reported directly to my parents. As an adult I am grateful for his care and concern. He was a great man that will be truly missed, but never forgotten.
