Mr. Kennedy remains in my heart forever, as does his "First Lady of grace, love, compassion, open heart and gentle eyes." I will always love them both dearly for what wonderful qualities they both brought to my life forever. God be with you gentle-man Mr. Kennedy. My love to the family.

Chip,Mark,Paul and Cheryl our family is deeply saddened by your loss.
Your Dad always spoke of his family with love and pride. He would tell us of the family get togethers and the high price of lobsters. We always teased him we were up for adoption if he wanted to take us along. He would just laugh. To be serious we'll miss seeing him outside, we're lucky to have had such a nice neighbor. We are here for your family if you need anything. Remember you didn't lose a loved one, you gained an angel to watch over you.
