Norman Kennedy

NORMAN KENNEDY Norman C. Kennedy, 84. I was born in Stratford, Conn., March 19, 1925, and lived there with my parents and one brother until 1932, when we moved to New Rochelle, N.Y. We returned to Stratford in 1937. As a boy, I was active in the Boy Scouts, ran the mile on the high school track team and played the clarinet in the band. I went to college at M.I.T. in Cambridge, Mass., graduating with a degree in general science with my major in meteorology. I served in the U.S. Navy as a meteorological officer in San Francisco, on the island of Guam and with the occupation of Japan. After leaving the Navy, I married my wife, Jan, and worked as a meteorologist for Northwest Airlines in Seattle for 16 years, and then as a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Las Vegas until my retirement in 1985. My hobbies include hiking, canoeing and woodworking. I was active as a Boy Scout leader while our four sons were of Scout age, and more recently, in various leadership positions of The Friendship Force of Las Vegas. Norm is survived by his wife, Jan; brother, Ray; sons, Bruce, Greg, Steve and Ron; eight grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 8, at First Presbyterian Church, 1515 W. Charleston Blvd. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Salvation Army, Las Vegas Corps.
