Kenneth Bott, age 83, of Collegeville, PA passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday, August 18, 2025.
He was born in New York, NY on July 29, 1942, the son of the late Bernard and Dorothy (Torpey) Bott.
Ken spent much of his life in New York before settling in the Packanack Lake community of Wayne, NJ, where he and his wife Madeline raised their family. He earned his bachelor's degree from Manhattan College, his MBA from New York University, and went on to enjoy a successful career as a Computer Networking Engineer working for Bell Labs, AT&T, Lucent Technologies and Verizon. Upon retirement, he moved to Traditions at Skippack to be closer to his beloved grandchildren, with whom he cherished every moment. Ken embraced the community, taking part in its many activities, including proudly serving as the Chairman of the Finance Committee and founder and Commissioner of the Traditions at Skippack Fantasy Football League. A lifelong Mets and Giants fan, he also loved traveling with Madeline by his side. They enjoyed many family vacations in Rehoboth and Cape Cod, as well as the excitement of cruising and exploring destinations around the world. He was a parishioner of St. Eleanor's RC Church of Collegeville, PA.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Madeline Bott (née Smith) of Collegeville, PA; daughter, Terri (Dan) Sullivan of Lansdale, PA; son, Kevin (Nicole) Bott of Orlando, FL; and two granddaughters, Kate and Audrey Sullivan.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Richard Bott.
