Kenneth Motta Obituary

Motta, Kenneth George October 31, 1933 - December 3, 2011 Ken was born in Fall River, MA, where he attended schools and college. He served in the US Army in Germany from 1953, following which he joined advertising agency Lennen & Newell as an account executive in New York City.

He later moved to Yuma, AZ, where he became interested in real estate, finally serving as CEO of the Yuma Association of Realtors. Ken was much loved by his friends and colleagues, who joined together to remember him at his home on December 10th. He is survived by a brother and his family, and by his partner Adam Gage.
