Lange, 91, of Enfield, CT, husband of 65 years to Barbara (Cormier) Lange, passed away Saturday (August 19, 2023), at home, surrounded by his family, after a courageous four-year battle with lung cancer.

After his retirement, Kenneth traveled to many places with his wife, Barbara, and their travel companions, Arthur and Janet Usher. He enjoyed going to the casino (sometimes), watching UCONN basketball, History Channel, Dr. Pol, fly fishing, beer, and spending time with his family who he loved dearly.
Besides his wife of 65 years, Barbara, he is survived by two children Kevin Lange of Enfield and Mary (Lange) Benjamin, and her husband Robert of Woodbury, CT. Two grandchildren Emily Benjamin and her fiancé Matthew Lindell of Middlebury, CT and Andrew Benjamin of Woodbury; CT, his brother-in-law John Beres of Coraopolis, PA; several nieces, nephews, and their families.
Kenneth was predeceased by his parents, William and Christine Lange; in-laws Herman and Eileen Cormier; two brothers, Robert Lange, Richard Lange; and three sisters, Eleanor Vetre, Dorothy Beres, Beverly Cote; as well as one grandchild, Emerson Benjamin.
