After a long illness Kenneth Stuart Jacobson (Kenny) passed through the portal into the unknown on October 9, 2024.

Kenny was born in Louisville, KY on August 28, 1938. He was the son of Abe and Rose (Zeiden) Jacobson.

Kenny grew up in Louisville, KY. He attended Manual High School but graduated from Fern Creek High School. Kenny was in the Army reserves in the late 1960s. He owned and operated B&W #2, a liquor and sundry store located in Old Louisville from the mid 1960s till 1977 when he moved to New York with his wife Betsy (Ress), whom he married in 1972. He and Betsy were active in the Jewish community in Larchmont, NY and Kenny served as president of Beth- Emeth synagogue.

Kenny was a graduate of the University of Kentucky and in later years he matriculated at Iona University and received a Masters Degree in Accounting and then worked as tax preparer for H&R Block for many years.

Kenny was an amazing big brother to his younger brother Harry. Kenny, along with their older brother, Jay, helped put Harry through college.

Kenny was predeceased by his wife of 52 years, Betsy, his parents, and his older brother Jay.

Kenny is survived by his brother Harry Jacobson-Beyer (Sherry), his son Michael (Kim Clem), his grandaughters Abby, Emma, and Haley, his nephew Keith Jacobson (Jennifer), his sister-in-law, Lorita Jacobson, his nieces Peggy Kasden Mandel (Joel) and Ilene Kasden Stoess (Scott), and several cousins, great nieces and nephews.

Also left behind to cherish his memory is his wonderful, caring friend Cookie Steinberg Kabakoff (formerly of Lexington, KY).

The family appreciates and gives thanks to his amazing Nephrologist and friend Dr. Krishna Sury who lovingly referred to Kenny as her "pain in the ass patient" one with an incredible sense of humor - who made her laugh. Kenny and his family are so grateful for the care and love she gave him.

A memorial service for Betsy and Kenny will be held in New York at a later date.
