Not sure what to say?

I'm not sure I have ever known a more gentle soul. Whenever Kent, And MaryAnn would come for a Vermont visit it would make my heart happy. This is a sad loss for our family and I'm sending hugs and prayers to all.

Mary Ann. So sorry for your loss. Kent was a sweet and kind man and he did have a wonderful smile. I felt very privileged to have gotten to know you both as my neighbor. I would see him at the grocery store and we would have a lovely chat. My prayers are with you at this time of grieving.

Mary Ann, My deepest sympathies for your loss! I remember Kent´s beautiful smile and his calm demeanor when he waited for you while you got your haircut. You are in my prayers. Joanne Levesque

So sorry to hear of Kent's passing, Mary Ann. Nancy and I send our deepest sympathies. We hope you will find comfort in the life long memories.

Maryann,Dick and I feel so privileged to have gotten to know Kent over the last 10 years! He certainly had a smile that would light up the room and a good sense of humor! I will miss the 4 of us getting together for coffee and also his friendly wave on Kaler road when I was out walking. He probably was on his way to the grocery store or some other errand but took the time to say hi and chat! Your wonderful husband will be greatly missed,Maryann! Love you both Pat Kempton

I never met Kent that I know of, but I have fond memories of Mary Ann from her time at Saint Anselm College. I am thinking of you Mary Ann at this difficult time. You too have touched many lives and I hope knowing that gives you joy as you celebrate Kent's life and grieve his loss.

Kent was kind, generous, compassionate, loving and courageous. My heart is heavy but also filled with love and joy for having the pleasure of knowing him for more than 40 years. I met Kent when my mother worked for him in the Admissions Office at Bentley College/University. Shortly after then, our families became one. I have so many fond memories of my mother & father traveling with Kent & Mary Ann, eating, sipping and sharing stories as our families grew and grew closer. Kent left a...
