KENNETH LINN Obituary

LINN, Kenneth R. Of The Villages, FL, previously of Middleton, MA, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 86 years of age. Son of the late Myrtle (Kopelman) and Carl Linn. Loving partner of Barbara Kac. Beloved father of Douglas Linn of Lynnfield, Richard Linn of Newburyport, David Linn of Medellin, Colombia and Dana Linn of Danvers. Cherished grandfather of Tammy & her husband Adam, Rory, Lauren, Adam, Dylan, Aiden & Ilona. Great grandfather of Haley & Theodore. Kenneth is survived by his siblings Nancy (Elliot), Steven (Anne) & Marjorie (Kenneth). Kenneth was born in Boston on July 11, 1939. He enjoyed several summers spending time at his condo in Hampton Beach overlooking the ocean. He moved to Florida after Covid and found true happiness with Barbara. They had many wonderful trips in Florida and enjoyed their special dinners. His family was a constant source of pride and joy throughout his life. An equal passion in his life was his work. This was his greatest hobby! Kenneth started a successful promotional business over 40 years ago that he passed on to his children. He was a strong-willed, positive person that always looked forward and never backwards. The word "no" was not in his vocabulary. He will be remembered for his special relationships and quality time spent with his children & grandchildren. Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Service on Thursday, October 16, at 11:00 AM, at Stanetsky Memorial Chapels, 475 Washington St., CANTON.

Yesterday

Doug, Rick, DJ, and Dana,
Our sincerest condolences. We shared so many wonderful times at your home on Catherine Drive in the 60's and 70's as we watched you guys grow up. We so enjoyed your Mom and Dad's company and friendship. Then over the last
10 plus years we reconnected again and laughed at many fun remembrances over lunches and dinners with your dad and mom, Davida. We love you all and hope to see you soon. Rhoda and Ken
