Kenneth Doolittle Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Anthony Funeral & Cremation Chapels - Brighton/Rochester Chapel on Mar. 6, 2026.
Died March 6, 2026. Predeceased by parents Lucy K. and Kenneth M. Doolittle. Survived by his wife of 55 years, Nicole; sons Noah and Josh; grandsons Reid and Conor; sister-in-law Karen Rogers; nephews Thomas and David Noriega.

Tex was born in Binghamton NY October 9,1945. He was a graduate of Pennsylvania State University and Syracuse Law School. Most of his legal career was spent practicing corporate law at Eastman Kodak, from which he retired as Vice President, Legal and Assistant General Counsel.

He was quick of wit, wry of humor and meticulous with the English language. If it had wheels or floated in the water he probably loved it. Music was a lifelong source of joy even though he couldn't carry a tune. And in his later years, the cottage in the Thousand Islands was his happy place. A lover of contemplation and doing the NYT crossword puzzle, he left no square in the puzzle of life unconsidered.

Details of a memorial celebration of Tex's life will be forthcoming at a later date.
