Gilbert Kenehan Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
"Rob" Kenehan (Cathy) and Colleen Zetzer (Matt); dear grandpa of Brendan Kenehan, Abbey Zetzer, Liam Kenehan and Brian
Zetzer; son of the late Loretta (nee Gannon) and Robert E. Kenehan.
He will be loved and remembered as a man of many passions and devoted to his family. We will remember him fondly cheering the Browns, enjoying live theater in Cleveland's theater district, sharing a craft beer with his family, and supporting the schools that supported him. He is gone in body but not in spirit. His legacy will live on in the generous scholarships he and Gail have set up. Education and knowledge were one of his strongest qualities. Most importantly he will live on in the hearts of those lives he helped shape.
