Kenneth Marcell Obituary
While living part-time in Syosset from 2010-2013, Ken volunteered at The Waterfront Center (Oyster Bay), working on the restoration of the oyster sloop Christeen and the oyster boat Ida May. In 2013 he fulfilled his retirement dream of living in Portland, Maine. As a talented watercolor and rendering artist, he loved to photograph and paint coastal scenes, historic homes, lighthouses, and sailing vessels. Ken loved sailing, learning as a teenager in Oyster Bay and continuing in Portland, where he volunteered for Sail Maine. His love of Ford and Lincoln automobiles piqued his lifelong interest in building and collecting car models.
The family wants to thank Baptist South Community Hospice (Jacksonville) for their care and concern for Ken and his family. Internment and celebrations of life will be planned for a future date. If you wish to honor Ken with a memorial contribution, please consider:

We remember the fun time we had when Kenny invited us to Green Lake in New Jersey. Boating and swimming there was something special. We will always keep Kenny's framed drawing on the wall in our home and remember him as a wonderful member of the Marcell family. Peace and love, Joan & Ernie
